Trigger spell check

[Gerard Graham]

Hi there

Is there a way of triggering a spell check of selected fields on tabs when the user attempts to save a form? Either to force correcting or at least alerting them to the issue.

Thanks

Gerry

Hi,
I haven’t built in support for handling the spellcheck in DFFS, but you should be able to trigger it in custom code by calling this built in function:

SP.UI.Spellcheck.SpellChecker.Spellcheck();

Maybe you can add a button / banner above the save button to tell the user to spellcheck before submitting?

Please note that I have only tested this in SharePoint online / Office 365.

I used this code to enable browser’s spell checker on all text fields. For some reason, it’s disabled on SharePoint…

$(document).ready( function() {
    $("input[type='text'], textarea").attr('spellcheck',true);
});

Good tip – thanks!
