HTML spellcheck on existing text Chrome

Question

I'm trying to use HTML spellcheck on a textarea in Chrome. This works on the text I type but, I need to use it with existing text. This doesn't work, only when I select the text then the spellcheck activates. I simply use this:

<TEXTAREA spellcheck="true" class="operatorchat" name="inputtext" id="inputtext">This text is worng!</TEXTAREA>

In Firefox it works. Is there any code to make it work, I thought about selecting and deselecting with Javascript but it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The HTML5 spec allows browsers to decide if they want to start spell-checking by default or not. FF 5 does; Chrome 12 doesn't. So it actually is working. Just, unfortunately, not the way you want.
