How do I enable spell check feature in HTML text area?

Question

I want to enable spell check feature in HTML text areas. I am using ColdFusion. Is this possible?

If the browser supports it and the user has it enabled, it will spellcheck. My browser spellchecks everything, always. – Streptokinase

As animuson says, leave it to the user if they want it. Also, ColdFusion is server-side technology, so will not itself do spell checking on the client-side (though there may be some CF-based widgets that output JavaScript that can do it). – Hastie

Answer 1

I have used Foundeo's spell checker before. Very easy to integrate and customise.

Answer 2

You could try to enable native spellcheck support for input forms, like this:

<input type="text" size="50" spellcheck="true">
<textarea spellcheck="true"></textarea>

You can also designate a correct language dictionary to use. If not specified, the browser's default language dictionary will be used. You can override browser defaults by specifying the lang attribute .

<input type="text" spellcheck="true" lang="en">

Answer 3

The browser will automatically spell check if it supports that feature. For JavaScript based spell checking, see here: http://www.javascriptspellcheck.com/

If using React, you have to capitalize the c:

spellCheck='true'
