As per the W3 spec, you can use the spellcheck
attribute on HTML input fields (such as <input>
and <textarea>
) to toggle browser's built-in spell checker on or off. It has the following values:
spellcheck="true"
orspellcheck
— enables spell checker;spellcheck="false"
— disables spell checker.
For example, to disable spell checking you would set the spellcheck
attribute to false
like so:
<input type="text" spellcheck="false" /> <textarea spellcheck="false"></textarea>
To enable spell checking you would either set the spellcheck
attribute to true
or omit the value, for example, like so:
<input type="text" spellcheck /> <textarea spellcheck></textarea>
<input type="text" spellcheck="true" /> <textarea spellcheck="true"></textarea>
