JavaScript to launch Spell Check when Ribbon is hidden

Question

The SharePoint 2010 Ribbon has a Spelling button that spell checks the page. We are using CSS to hide the ribbon for certain lists that have custom Edit and Display forms. Is there a JavaScript function for this spell check feature I can just call from a link, so I don't have to display the ribbon?

Answer 1

I once achieved it this way:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
     function doSpellCheck() {
          SpellCheckEntirePage(‘/_vti_bin/SpellCheck.asmx’,‘/_layouts/SpellChecker.aspx’);
     }
</script>

And

<a class="ms-toolbar" href="javascript:doSpellCheck()">Spelling…</a>
