Just a div with contenteditable and then manually setting innerHTML to a text with typos

editor.innerHTML="helo helo<br>hrlo<br>"

<div contenteditable=true id=editor style="border:solid;border-width:1px"></div>

How can I tell chrome to spellcheck this text ?

I know that officially you need a user interaction and that forceSpellCheck() is not supported yet by Chrome. Is there another hack/workaround ??

Thx!

maybe similar but this is a much simpler case, no spans involved – kofifus Mar 02 '17 at 05:19
The question is superficially different, but the answer is exactly the same. – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Mar 02 '17 at 05:20
