The spellcheck attribute

The spellcheck attribute tells the browser whether to check the spelling of the entered text. Applies to input or textarea tags, and to elements that have the contenteditable attribute set.

The value true enables the check, and false disables it. Instead of true, you can specify an empty value or not write it at all.

Example

Let's look at the text that contains errors and enable spell checking. If your browser supports the spellcheck attribute and spell checking is enabled, then when the focus (!) element is received, the browser should highlight the misspelled words:

<textarea lang="en" spellcheck>This text has eror</textarea>

textarea {
	width: 200px;
	height: 100px;
}
