adding spelling suggestion on HTML page

Question

I am new to web development and just trying to add spelling suggestion to a textarea. I really don't know what I am going to need for this, need to write the code myself or use a third party library etc. Can someone suggest me how to add this functionality to a simple HTML page containing a textarea. I want when I write a misspelled word in text area, some suggestions matching that word should appear in dropdown.

Well autocorrect in the web page can be achieved by JavaScript for sure.

There are some nice frameworks for this, probably you could see this:

For only spellchecking (despite built-in browser checking):
