Hope everyone is having a great summer.
The long of it: I've written a spell checker with all the things one would expect to find. It has just one problem: I can't highlight a misspelled word while bringing up a second stack as a modal from which the user can change the word, ignore it, add it to the dictionary, etc. If I simply select the word, the minute the second stack is brought up with an insertion point in the "Change To" field, I loose MetaCard's highlighting of the word. I'd love to put my own graphic, most likely a simple rectangle, around it, but I can't get the rectangular coordinates of the misspelled word. The closest I've come is to do a 'find' on the word and get the selectedLoc, but that only gives me the topLeft corner of Metacard's selection rectangle around the word. My work around is to use an arrow for the graphic to point at the misspelled word, but it would be nice to use a rectangle instead. The short of it: Does anybody know how to get the entire rectangular coordinates of the location of a word in a field? I'm out of town till next Tuesday so I won't be able to reply (sorry) but any ideas will sure be appreciated! Thanks, Ray Horsley Developer, LinkIt!
