Summary Spellcheck checks spelling of user id fields

user id fields in login forms should not be spellchecked by default. For example, the user id field of gmail.com login. firefox/gecko doesn't have this problem (but at the same time, doesn't appear to spellcheck any single-line <input> such as website search boxes, which is divergent from webkit)

(In reply to comment #0) > user id fields in login forms should not be spellchecked by default. For example, the user id field of gmail.com login. How can the browser tell if it's a user id field vs some other <input type="text"> field?

If a browser has a "autofill passwords" feature (like Safari does), there's presumably a decent heuristic implemented already. But it's in browser, not in WebKit.

I guess based on the "name" attribute. For example, on gmail it's <input name="Email" [...]> So don't spellcheck for a whitelist of name values that includes "Email". This can in turn be overridden by the spellcheck attribute. I'm not claiming I understand all the implications of this approach but this was abstractly what I had had in mind.
