Add an "X" button to the end of each line in the completion list that removes the entry. This would allow you to get rid of accidental typos in previous forms that will pop up (without having to clear ALL the form completion data.) -[[User:EricBayer|EricBayer]] 22:10, 3 July 2007 | Add an "X" button to the end of each line in the completion list that removes the entry.

* I think this should be optional because it might be aesthetically displeasing to some. I am assuming Mr. EricBayer is unaware that he can get rid of saved form entries using Shift+Delete? --[[User:Armaetin|Armaetin]] 22:48, 3 July 2007 (PDT) | * I think this should be optional because it might be aesthetically displeasing to some.

== Remember chosen language for every text area on every page == | |||
For polyglot users, the Spell Checker loses much of its appeal, because you must manually switch the language every time you switch between languages. | |||
If the checker simply remembered the language I chose for each web page and on a second level for each text area on that web page (probably hard to impossible), it would greatly simplify writing for polyglot users. So, if I write on English wikipedia it first checks which language header the web site sent and if I don't agree with that setting, I can chose my own - maybe British English, even though Wikipedia sends US-English headers - and the checker will remember my choice for next time. | |||
Another idea would be auto-recognition and multiple languages, but that's not too easy I guess, especially if the detection is based on the users misspellings. | |||
I don't know whether there already is some sort of JS-Handler, but if web sites could tamper with Firefoxes Spell checker, they could suggest the right language right away - and annoy users a lot if they have bad intentions, of course. | |||
