AutoCorrect for <textarea>

[Astro-Boy]

Quick script I threw together a while back. Mimics the AutoCorrect behaviour of MS Word. The list of corrections was exported from MS Word via some obscure macro that I have since lost.

Has worked in all browsers I've tested with save Netscape Navigator.

Sorry for ignorance, but what does it do? Check for spelling? :o

if you type "teh" it will convert to "the"
There are certain things I would change in the script(such as using regexp.test([str]) and some other minor stuff) but overall it's a cool script..

I think your script is terrific Astro-Boy! One query - I notice that it works just fine when typing at the end of a passage of text, however if I put the cursor anywhere within the passage of text already typed, the autocorrection does not work. Is this something which can be easily modified, please?

Keep up the great work!!
