Funny that, I was just trying to implement spell checking on my Intranet
today and thought "Wouldn't it be cool if I could access the DOM to
spell check right here? Now, it wouldn't work with OTHER browsers, but
you can always do the javascript limbo:

onSubmit="if (mozilla.spelling)
 mozilla.spelling.check(formBookDetails('review')); }"

Can we access those kind of mozilla DOM things from javascript... I'm
assuming we can - so it would almost be that easy, if the spelling
checker was just an object in the dom...

Hurrah!
