Hi

I want to do spell check using asp..

Is it possible to create spellchecking for textarea control?
yes, you definitely can
How to do so?
It would probably be easier with 3rd party software, and it would probably make more sense to do it with a java applet on the client side. Firefox has an option to do this automatically in any textarea, and I believe this option is turned on by default.
Do I have to use any other 3rd party softwares?
No, you don't have to. All you have to do to do this in ASP is make a very big list of words, in essence a speller's dictionary. Then split up the textarea into individual words and make sure each word is listed in your dictionary. Suggesting corrections is a little harder.

Let me know if this helps.
