Firefox 2.0 Spellcheck not working on Dgrin

So I installed Firefox 2.0 today. I was looking forward to it mostly because of a built-in spellchecker for web forms. However, it appears that the vBulletin software overrides the check somehow. It works fine on gmail, but asyoucansee, does not work here.

What's the story here? Anybody know of a work-around or extension that could be used?

Thanks,

    Just to clarify: it works in the Dgrin posting form?

    Yes, I even tested it with this post. It marks the underlined words in red, rigth click and pick the correct spelling.

    For some reason (I'm on a mac) vbulletin sites don't automatically engage the spell check. I have to manually highlight the text I want to check and then right click and select "check spelling" from the drop down menu.

    I found the answer on a Jelsoft board. For some unspecified reason, Firefox does not recognize vBulletin's WYSIWYG mode widgets as text boxes, so it does not engage the spell check automatically. However, all you have to do is right click in the box and check the "Spell check this field" option and it will work fine. So it's an inconvenience--you have to do it for each field you want to check--but not really a big deal.

    That makes sense. vBulletin uses a frame to do their wysiwyg editor rather than a text field.
    Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.

    Learning how to spell is out of the question, apparently.
