when you start writing, incorrectly spelled words should be in red. highlight them and left click for suggestions.

Actually you just need to right click on the misspelled word.

It isnt difficult to implement a Java Based spellcheck for any form on a website, you just need to know what your doing.

However, it is a resource drain on the client, the host, or both, depending on implementation.

No matter HOW you implement it, it is a resource drain, the computations, lookups, and comparisons have to be done somewhere, computing resources are not free.

If its implemented properly resource drain will be minimal. It would take less drain on the client then it would downloading all the ads for this page your looking at.

The client drain is irrelevant to what GitS mentioned.
