The spellcheck
global attribute is an enumerated attribute that defines whether the element may be checked for spelling errors.
Note: This attribute is merely a hint for the browser: browsers are not required to check for spelling errors. Typically non-editable elements are not checked for spelling errors, even if the spellcheck
attribute is set to true
and the browser supports spellchecking.
<textarea spellcheck="true">
This exampull will be checkd fur spellung when you try to edit it.</textarea
>
<textarea spellcheck="false">
This exampull will nut be checkd fur spellung when you try to edit it.</textarea
>
It may have the following values:
true
, which indicates that the element should be, if possible, checked for spelling errors;false
, which indicates that the element should not be checked for spelling errors.If this attribute is not set, its default value is element-type and browser-defined. This default value may also be inherited, which means that the element content will be checked for spelling errors only if its nearest ancestor has a spellcheck state of true
.
Using spellchecking can have consequences for users' security and privacy. The specification does not regulate how spellchecking is done and the content of the element may be sent to a third party for spellchecking results (see enhanced spellchecking and "spell-jacking").
You should consider setting spellcheck
to false
for elements that can contain sensitive information.
