[in] boolean val

[out] boolean **ptr
);
Property values
Type: boolean
True turns on spell checking for an element, false turns it off.
Remarks
Spellcheck is only enabled by default textArea elements, and elements with the IHTMLElement3::contentEditable = true attribute for Windows apps using JavaScript, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop in Windows 8. Spellcheck is off by default for input type=text
Spellcheck is off by default of any element in the apps that host the web browser control (Web OC). You can enable spellchecking by adding the spellcheck=true attribute to the root or ancestor markup of the content (including the <html> element), with no other special flags needed.
There is also a default state (missing attribute) which uses the element's default behavior, such as inheriting from the parent element's spellcheck state.
Examples
The following example shows a text input element with spell checking.
<html>
<head>
<title>Spellcheck example</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Ask for some text -->
<label>Type some words:
<input type="text" autofocus spellcheck="true" />
</label>
</body>
</html>
