<p>The <code><strong>spellcheck</strong></code> <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes">global attribute</a> is an enumerated attribute defines whether the element may be checked for spelling errors.</p>

<div>{{EmbedInteractiveExample("pages/tabbed/attribute-spellcheck.html","tabbed-shorter")}}</div>

<div class="hidden">The source for this interactive example is stored in a GitHub repository. If you'd like to contribute to the interactive examples project, please clone <a href="https://github.com/mdn/interactive-examples">https://github.com/mdn/interactive-examples </a> and send us a pull request.</div>

<p>It may have the following values:</p>

<ul>
 <li><code>true</code>, which indicates that the element should be, if possible, checked for spelling errors;</li>
 <li><code>false</code>, which indicates that the element should not be checked for spelling errors.</li>
</ul>

<div class="blockIndicator note">
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The <code>spellcheck</code> attribute is an <em>enumerated</em> one and not a <em>Boolean</em> one. This means that the explicit usage of one of the values <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> is mandatory, and that a shorthand like <code>&lt;textarea spellcheck&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; </code>is not allowed. The correct usage is <code>&lt;textarea spellcheck="true"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;</code>.</p>
</div>

<p>If this attribute is not set, its default value is element-type and browser-defined. This default value may also be <em>inherited</em>, which means that the element content will be checked for spelling errors only if its nearest ancestor has a <em>spellcheck</em> state of <code>true</code>.</p>

<p>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 <code>spellcheck</code> attribute is set to <code>true</code> and the browser supports spellchecking.</p>
