Today a content editor asked me if I could make the spell-check work in the web based rich text editor she uses. She wanted the browser to put the red squiggly line underneath a misspelled word. Tinymce disables the squiggle by setting a non-standard attribute called “spellcheck” equal to false.  The squiggle is such a benifit to authors, I don’t understand why they would disable this by default. The fix is simple, you can re-enable the squiggle by setting gecko_spellcheck: true in your tinymce config. A better bet altogether would be to use the yui: rich text editor
