# 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 v0.3.0.

## 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


## Browser support

The plugin has been tested and works with the following browsers:

* IE6+ and latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera

## Requirements

* jQuery
* PHP5.3+ to use the default webservice
