In-Built Browser Spell Check Not Working


I upgraded to Windows 10 whenever MS offered the free update. I have the autocorrect features turned on in the Typing config section as recommended.

enter image description here

However, even though this is on, this does nothing in IE 11 even though it is mentioned it will in this article on Microsoft Answers (says see Section D).

Is there a trick to get this working? Is there some HTML 5 attribute that also needs to be included for this to work in IE 11 (can't use edge). Spell check works in Chrome and Firefox (only via right-click menu option), so it seems it's an IE 11 issue?


Solution

  • have you tried the spellcheck attribute: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_global_spellcheck.asp

    <input spellcheck="true">
