This is the code used on the regular post page slightly modified. It needs to go in your headers. A better method would be an external javascript file.

Then put this small piece I wrote in your board footers:

<script type="text/javascript">
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName("td"); var pRef = 1; var spButton;
if (location.href.match(/action=display/) && location.href.match(/thread=(\d)+/)){
     for(i=0; i<tds.length; i++){
          if(tds.item(i).width == "100%" && tds.item(i).firstChild.nodeName.match(/font/i) && tds.item(i).firstChild.innerHTML.match(/Message:/i)){
               spButton = document.createElement("input");
               spButton.type = "button"
               spButton.value = "Spell Check"
               spButton.onclick = function(){openSpellCheck()};
               tds.item(i).firstChild.childNodes.item(2).insertBefore(spButton, tds.item(i).firstChild.childNodes.item(2).lastChild);
          }
     }
}
</script>
