Currently I have to click the Spell check button on RadEditor's toolbar to see the word suggestions. Is there any way for that? I did find a way to run Spell Checker on Submit Button click but how do I get what I want? I have gone through forums but in vain. Need help please. Thanks

Hi gs1711,

For the time being, we do not plan to provide automatic spellchecking while typing in RadEditor due to performance issues. If you edit large text then this will decrease the typing / editing performance, because the JavaScript code has 10 times slower performance compared to native compiled code. RadEditor also runs multiple content filters on the client that will additionally decrease the performance when spell checking large content.

All major browsers (except Internet Explorer) offer their own built-in spellcheckers that perform inline spell checking in the editable elements: textareas, editable iframe and div elements. The content area of RadEditor is editable IFRAME. I hope that this feature will be implemented by IE developers in one of the next version of this browser and RadEditor will support it.
