Javascript access to spell checker on browsers

Question

Is it possible to get access to the spell checker that is incorporated in browsers for text areas from Javascript? I would like to be able to control spell checking from wit

Answer 1

Browser's don't provide access to their built-in, proprietary spell checker APIs. I'm quite certain there's no x-plat way to do this, let alone a way to do it individually for each browser.

Best bet is to check with each browser vendor and see if they provide any javascript hooking of their spell checker.

I think the most they'll allow is what Bobo said; you can enable/disable it for textboxes, but I don't think they allow any further control than that.
