User would like to have our text/rich text fields spell check when typing a message. kind of like it is here. If I type an incorrect word, I receive the squiggly line beneath. When typing in the fields on SP, I don’t get that unless I click on spell check in the ribbon?

Here we have two options:
1. Disabling SharePoint spell checking at the farm level. (Central Administration -> System settings -> Manage farm features -> Deactivate 'Spell Checking' feature).
2. Use the default spell checking provided by a browser in conjunction with the SharePoint spell checking for specific forms. Put the following code into JS-editor of Forms Designer:
Code: Select all
$('body').attr('spellcheck', 'true');

The above code works and will highlight errors when writing, however it will not show errors once the form is saved and re opened, is there a way to do this?
I am running sharepoint foundation 2013,

This is a native browser feature, so I don't think that you can handle it via JavaScript.

Will this work for Office 365 version of Forms Designer? When I use it, it doesn't seem to highlight any errors.

Dear Adam,
I'm sorry for a late reply. Yes, the spell check works for Office 365 too. Have you tried the second option? What browser do you use?
