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

Nope.

If you want control over spell checking, you could do it yourself with AJAX.

(And, incidentally, ieSpell is a free spell checker plugin for IE that is pretty easy for users to install on their own)
