Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2009-11-23 10:03:34 UTC The suggestion is to set the "spellcheck=yes" attribute on the edit summary field. This is a HTML5 feature ( http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/editing.html ) and supported by both Firefox and Opera. Comment 1 Sam Reed (reedy) 2009-11-23 18:39:51 UTC r59360 Comment 2 Sam Reed (reedy) 2009-11-23 18:52:59 UTC r59361 Comment 3 David Göthberg 2009-11-23 20:57:26 UTC I see that Reedy already noticed this and fixed it in his second revision above (r59361), but so others that read this don't get confused: The attribute should be "spellcheck=true", not "yes".
