How to access Chrome spell-check suggestions in JavaScript

by

How do I access Chrome’s spell-check suggestions for a misspelled word?

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot. To answer more fully, I’ll also mention related issues:

Is there an event associated with this?

No, nor does the contextmenu event provide anything useful for this purpose: it has no spell-check information and you cannot read the list of context menu items (which may contain spelling suggestions). The change event also doesn’t provide spell-check information.

You can either code this yourself or use a third party library. There are other Stack Overflow questions on this topic or you can search for yourself. Related Stack Overflow questions include:
