IMP has a spell checker, but not on-the-fly as you describe it. That would be
very useful, especially if it has a way to be loaded into any Horde module that
wants to use it in a text input.
Maybe it could be an extension to Horde_Forms, like a helper JS functionality
similar to the calendar popup, so that it can be attached to text fields?
