I never noticed it before until I upgraded to 10.4.11, and thus Safari 3.0, but now when I am typing online, I get the red underlines in words a la MS Word spell check. Is this new in Safari 3.0, or did I just never notice it before??

Either way, it is absolutely irritating. Anyone know how to disable it?????

OK - I found how to turn it off. Still would like to know if this is new in 3.0?

yes - it's new to Safari 3.

no, this is definitely not new to Safari 3...that feature has made me appear like a better speller than I am for years now!

It's built into OS X; it's in any standard textbox type area (for Cocoa apps)

wow - never worked in my Safari 2 - one of the main reasons I switched to Firefox initially.

Now that I've been using Firefox for so long I can't go back to Safari. I used Safari 3 for a full day (it is fast), but missed all the conveniences of Firefox.

Enable it under Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling as You Type

I have Version 2.0.4 (419.3)

Been there - got the 'don't tase' me bro' t-shirt

BUT... when I moved to Leopard, I went back to Safari and dumped Entourage for Mail, iCal and Address Book because the integration between those programs is so tight now.

Haven't lost the scroll bar yet, but a fair number of instant crashes in Safari. What is new is the resizable text box. Very convenient for those particularly long winded, egocentric, pompous

posts.

OK, I'm a geek. "Don't tease me bro!"
