Finding Client Controls

Spellchecking a TEXTAREA element.




 Spellchecking a DIV element.


Thisz is a client side DIV with some delibirate mistakees.

Spellchecking an IFRAME element

In the code samples above we show how you could attach RadSpell to almost all of the HTML editable elements: textarea, div, etc. Again you have to use the ControlToCheck property, but since this time the spellchecker is launched client-side you also have to set the IsClientID property to "true".

e.g.
<telerik:RadSpell id=spell1 ButtonCssClass="button" IsClientID="true" ControlToCheck="textarea1" Runat="server"></telerik:RadSpell>
