Can I somehow disable spell-checking on HTML textfields (as seen in e.g. Safari)?
Update: As suggested by a commenter (additional credit to How can I disable the spell checker on text inputs on the iPhone), use this to handle all desktop and mobile browsers.
Original answer: Javascript cannot override user settings, so unless you use another mechanism other than textfields, this is not (or shouldn’t be) possible.
