deactivate spellcheck in textarea

[Stefan Rakete]

Hi,

I have a textarea in my panel and the spellcheck is turned on (I see the red curly underlining).

Is that the chrome spellcheck? Is there a way to turn it off ?

Thanks Stefan

Command line parameter ?

disable-asynchronous-spellchecking

See chromium/chrome_switches.cc at master · adobe/chromium · GitHub

Added this to the manifest, restarted InDesign but still no luck:

<CEFCommandLine>

            <Parameter>-disable-asynchronous-spellchecking</Parameter>

</CEFCommandLine>

The curly underlining still shows.

Any other ideas ?

Thanks Stefan

Well it should be <Parameter>--disable-asynchronous-spellchecking</Parameter> with -- and not just - but I just tried that and it didn't work.

There is an experimental spell flag mentioned in that file but I highly doubt that will work.

I don't have any other ideas, maybe someone else will have.

You should be able to handle this in your HTML. Take a look at this StackOverflow answer.
