AJAX spellchecker demo

Edit your text for misspelings!
Unlike most Rails applications this simple demo only uses ActionPack and not ActiveRecord. Instead model services are provided by Aspell. An excellent spellchecker with superior suggestion capability, freely available on a multitude of platforms.
Suggestions are offered via AJAX powered links, just like done by GMail. While this is by no means anything more than a demo, it is still surprising that only 67 lines of code, plus some HTML templates were required.
This demo works with Firefox. Internet Explorer was not tested: your mileage may vary. And lastly it is made uterly useless with Firefox 2.0 or greather. Now that is progress!
