I think there are two separate issues here. Something's keeping the command from being enabled at all, but also Safari wants to turn this on by default and that might require a fix on the Safari side. 47652 5 darin 2006-06-28 08:32:45 -0700 Check Spelling as You Type is still working in Blot. 47655 6 darin 2006-06-28 08:43:43 -0700 The issue here is that the support for toggleContinuousSpellChecking: is entirely in WebView and is based on isEditable. So for a WebView not marked editable, we won't have continuous spell checking, even if part of what's being viewed is editable. This needs to be changed around! 47656 7 darin 2006-06-28 08:45:51 -0700 The reason that Check Spelling doesn't work is presumably a problem in FrameMac::advanceToNextMisspelling. 47780 8 darin 2006-06-29 20:12:22 -0700 The change Tim Hatcher just checked in, r15093, has fixed the greyed-out Check Spelling as You Type bug. We'll need a new bug report for the fact that Check Spelling does not work in textareas. 47783 9 darin 2006-06-29 20:15:08 -0700 I filed bug 9658 about the Check Spelling command not working.
