Is there any built in WYSIWYG editor in Code igniter?
Can I implement a spell checking functionality in a text area? :roll:

Try using the search and have a look at the wiki!
E.g: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/FCKeditor/ and http://codeigniter.com/wiki/TinyMCE/

There was a thread a few days ago here discussing various WYSIWYG editors... not sure of any which have spell checking built in though

Javascript WYSIWYG editors don't have spell checking, simply because it's way too complicated to implement.

I'm sure this got resolved with FCKeditor, when all those people with regrettable language skills were complaining about this feature being needed in Dekiwiki some time back.
Seemingly there was some easy way - FCK supported it, something needed to be tweaked, details were not absorbed since I can spell reasonably well - to get that editor to pass through the Firefox spell checker.
I think this is a more elegant solution to the problem of 'I can't spell' (short of actually, you know, learning how to spell) as it neatly circumvents the massive problem of tracking regional and dialect issues relating to spell checkers. Users can ensure their one browser has an understanding of where they are much better than configuring each and every web site they may visit.

Take a look at the tiny MCE plugin

Using the google spellchecker back end is probably going to be the easiest option.
I've been using it on live systems integrated with codeigniter and it all works very nicely together.
