Background

Several Mozilla products have access to spell checking functionality. A recent patch allows this functionality to work in HTML text editing controls. The spell check function, when active, is accessible via the context menu of the text box.

For spell checking to work, the user must have the appropriate dictionary files installed.

This preference allows the spell check function to be enabled or disabled for multi-line and/or single-line edit controls, and supersedes layout.textarea.spellcheckDefault.

Caveats

The dictionary used is dependent on the preference spellchecker.dictionary in applications other than Camino. If that preference is not set, you will be prompted to choose a dictionary each time you access the spell checker. Camino uses whichever dictionary is the default Mac OS X dictionary for your user account.
