LinuxQuestions.org - Javascript spell check

OK,
I have been 'volunteered' for a little project here at work. We have an HTML application that is our main customer database, but it has no in-built spell check feature. Management would like to spell check documentation that is entered into a customer's file. I have no direct access to the HTML application, so the only way I can interact with it is though the .hta file that loads the application. Here is my problem:

I have found a nifty little Javascript that will copy selected text from a web page, paste it into Word, run Word's built in spell check, and then paste the changes back into the original document. Code:

Code:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>NaviLink</TITLE>

<HTA:APPLICATION ID="htaNavLink" 

  APPLICATIONNAME="NavLink" 

  BORDER="thick"

  CAPTION="yes"

  SHOWINTASKBAR="yes"

  SINGLEINSTANCE="no"

  SYSMENU="yes"

  WINDOWSTATE="normal"

  NAVIGABLE="yes"

  SCROLL="yes"

  SELECTION="no"

  MAXIMIZEBUTTON="yes"

  MINIMIZEBUTTON="yes"

  INNERBORDER="no"

  CONTEXTMENU="yes">

<script language="JScript">



function spellcheck()

{oShell= new 

ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

oShell.SendKeys( "^c" ); // copy

oWord= new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");

oWord.Visible= true;

oWord.Documents.Add();

oWord.Selection.Paste();

oWord.ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling();

oWord.Selection.WholeStory();

oWord.Selection.Copy();

oWord.ActiveDocument.Close(0);

oWord.Quit();

var nRet= oShell.Popup( 

"Apply changes?\nClick OK to replace all selected text.",

0,

"Spell Check Complete",

33 );

if ( nRet == 1 ) {

oShell.SendKeys( "^v" ); // paste

}}

</script>

</HEAD>

<BODY STYLE=Margin:0px ONLOAD=LoadApp()>

<table border="0" width="100%"><tr>

<td><input type="button" id="BB" class="clsButton" value="SpellCheck"

onClick="spellcheck()"></td>

</table>

<IFRAME ID="fraApp" APPLICATION="Yes" STYLE="Width:100%;Height:100%;"></IFRAME>

<script language=vbScript>

        Sub LoadApp()

                window.moveTo 0, 0

                window.resizeTo 1025, 735

                document.all.fraApp.src = "http://comapny/program.htm" 

        End Sub

</script>

</BODY>

</HTML>

As you can see, the application is being loaded in an iframe. For some strange reason that is well beyond my very limited capabilities, the application in the iframe doesn't respond to the sendkeys command. So no text is being copied, and the spell check fails.

Any ideas on what I might be missing? I know that within the application pressing ctrl+c and ctrl+v work well enough for copy paste, but I don't know how to code this into the script.

I probably did a real bad job of explaining the problem, so let me know if I can clarify.
