HTML Global spellcheck Attribute
Example
<p contenteditable="true" spellcheck="true">This is a paragraph.</p>Meaning
The spellcheck attribute is set to either true or false and indicates whether the content enclosed by the element should be spelling and grammar checked.
If it has no value, the assumed value is true unless it inherits false from an enclosing parent.
Values:
- When "true" value is set or the empty string (""), browsers will commonly underline misspelled words in red and provide alternatives in a context menu.
- When "false" value is set, browsers will avoid checking the element's content for spelling errors.
Note: Not supported in HTML 4.01.
