I need to highlight spelling mistakes inside a text area on web page when user is typing text inside the field.The following solution is very appealing to me but the problem is that currently it does not work in Internet Explorer. http://users.dcc.uchile.cl/~jmunoz/I need a similar solution which works across most of the browsers including Internet Explorer. I would also like to mention that the text area field in my page is resizable so I would like the solution to be resizeable as well.The problems I have faced so far in working with the highlighting tools is that when spelling errors are identified and highlighted it refreshes the page and the text area looses focus. The user has to set focus to the text area again in order to continue typing. I would like the highlighting solution to work in a seamless manner so that the user is able to continue typing while the text is being highlighted.I would also like to inform you that the spelling errors are identified by sending a request to a webpage using jquery. The page returns XML response which identified the spelling errors in the supplied text. The XML is then parsed via jQuery to get the spelling errors in the text.Your suggestions to solve this highlighting issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
