Maybe each website can inform the browser of words/names it expects to be used and add it (in the scope of that page) to the exceptions. If you can respond; has this been suggested? Posted from: 190.166.124.163 44329 1 john 2011-01-13 15:39:33 +0000 How would you propose such a thing, using a datalist linked to the textfield? What happens if the user isn’t in the same language? should the word list just be for names? Can imagine it may be useful for a code editor to validate keywords, but then the javascript route is more common. 45678 2 ian 2011-02-16 09:18:56 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: none yet Rationale: Providing a custom site-specific dictionary is an interesting idea. I'm marking this bug LATER for now since we're waiting for browsers to catch up with implementing the features we've already added before adding more, but we'll revisit this at some point when looking at the various spell checking feature requests we've received. 53625 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:15:49 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 82048 4 mike 2013-01-24 07:18:59 +0000 This bug was cloned to create HTML WG bug 19037. 84647 5 ian 2013-03-19 17:47:38 +0000 Any implementors interested in adding site-specific dictionary support? 112315 6 ian 2014-09-26 21:20:22 +0000 Given the lack of interest from browser vendors in terms of providing a spelling checker API or hooks into their spelling checking, I'm marking this WONTFIX.
