Talk:Controlling spell checking in HTML forms

From MDC

It would be really great if there was an actual text area on this page to allow users to test the spellcheck feature. I notice that the [| wiki syntax] does not allow this html to be included, so does anyone know a way this could be put on the page? Loquaciously 13:44, 17 August 2006 (PDT)

Well, one could make a simple HTML testcase and get it uploaded by filing a bug. --Nickolay 11:09, 24 August 2006 (PDT)

Can someone make it so that you don't only have one global dictionary, but rather you're able to set one for one domain/page that is in one language, and another for another? I'm writing in a few different languages every day, and I think it's a bit annoying that I keep getting red lines whenever I'm not writing in English (or, if I change my dictionary to some other language, I get red lines when writing in English...)

I am wondering if it is possible to change some of the words in my dictionary? I mean, I accidentally clicked "add to dictionary" on a word that is spelled completely wrong. How can I go back and change it, so that the spell-checker doesn't think that the word is actually correct?

The personnal dictionnary is located here (firefox 2.0.0.12):

* GNU/Linux : /home/[user]/.mozilla/firefox/[profile_id].default/persdict.dat
* Microsoft Windows : C:/Documents and Settings/[user]/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile_id].default/persdict.dat

[edit] Invalid HTML

This results in the HTML being invalid, would it not be better to have some form of <meta> tag or similar to disable spell checking on a whole page. --Ratty 15:46, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

Or even a CSS attribute to control it for individual elements. This is presentation after all. There's lots of Gecko-specific CSS attributes already, so there's precedent (and allowance for custom attributes in the CSS spec). --Justdave 13:54, 2 December 2007 (PST)
