How do I use Wintertree Spell Check Applet to check text entered
in Web page forms?
Adding Spell Check Applet to a web form is very easy. In a nutshell,
you add an <APPLET> tag to refer to Spell Check Applet, a
<SCRIPT> tag to include a JavaScript file included with Spell
Check Applet, then set the ONCLICK handler of a "Spell
Check" button to call a function in the JavaScript file. Spell
Check Applet comes with several examples showing how to do this, plus
a 20-page user's guide. It typically takes no more than 10 minutes'
work. See Technical
details for more information.
What's the difference between Wintertree Spell Check Applet and
your Sentry Spelling Checker Engine
Java SDK product?
Wintertree Spell Check Applet is a single-purpose product that is
intended to add spelling-checker capability to Web forms. Sentry
Spelling Checker Engine is a general-purpose spelling engine that can
be used in Java applications, applets, servlets, JSP pages, and any
other situation where Java can be used. The Sentry engine must be
integrated into some kind of application program, meaning software
development is required.

Do I have to do anything special on the server? Is any server
programming required?
No. Spell Check Applet runs entirely on the client (browser). Other
than placing the applet's files on your server (just as you would for
the HTML files forming your Web site), no server configuration is needed.
Will Spell Check Applet work with my server?
As far as your server is concerned, Spell Check Applet and its
dictionaries are just "content," much like HTML files or
images. This means Spell Check Applet works with all web servers.
