Introduction

There was a spell-checking addon for Coranto, but the file is no longer available from the author. What is suggested here will provide spell-checking capability whenever you are entering text into a text box on an html form.

Opera will recognize Aspell once it is installed on your system. So if you use both Firefox and Opera, once you follow the steps to install Aspell for Firefox Opera will use Aspell the next time it is started. See this Opera tutorial for more information about using Aspell with Opera.

Internet Explorer Solution

If you use Internet Explorer you can install ieSpell. From the ieSpell homepage:
