Abstract
Spell checking of a document in a network browser based application is performed automatically. Spell checking may be performed in a content page in response to user editing of the document text. Text entered into a document through a browser application interface is divided into nodes. The nodes may be associated with a section, line or word of text. Each node may be assigned one or more parameters which may indicate whether the node has been spell checked or not. Selected nodes are sent to a spell check service for spell checking. Correction information is received in response to the spell check request. Once a client device receives the correction information, words within the text range of the document that match identified misspelled words are processed. In one embodiment, matching words are highlighted with a visual indicator to indicate that they may be incorrectly spelled.
