In 2006 I proposed the following spec for a spellcheck="" attribute, based on requests from the Google engineers then working on Firefox: http://www.damowmow.com/playground/spellcheck.txt The same engineers have since implemented this feature in Chrome also, and Google does use this attribute on its sites. However, the attribute has seen very little interest outside of Google, with just a handful of sites using it, primarily in dyanamic editor libraries. I have therefore not added this feature to HTML5 for the time being. If there is more interest in this feature, please speak up. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
