jQuery Spellchecker
===================

[](#jquery-spellchecker)

The jQuery Spellchecker is a free Javascript spellchecker in the form of a lightweight jQuery plugin that can be used to check the spelling of text within a form field or within a DOM tree. This is a complete rewrite of the [initial spellchecker](http://code.google.com/p/jquery-spellchecker/) plugin I wrote.

The current version of the plugin is v0.3.1.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Unicode support (works with most languages)
- HTML parsing (for using the spellchecker within WSYIWYG editors)
- Text parsing (for using the spellchecker on form fields)
- Multiple fields
- Multiple PHP back-end drivers (Enchant, PSpell, Google)
- Friendly API
- Event based
- MIT licensed
- Actively developed
