Setting spellcheck=true on a textarea (onfocus) works fine, disabling it however doesn't do anything.

I came upon this while trying to create a workaround for this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358725

I load the textarea with a html atribute spellcheck=false and set it to true on onfocus,
I try to set it to false onblur, but no go. (no error either)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a page with a textarea
2.set the textarea to not have spellchecking
3.add an onfocus event to enable the spellchecking
4.add an onblur event to disable spellchecking
5.notice the spellcheck isn't disabled.


Expected Results:  
spell checking should be able to get enabled and disabled trough javascript.

Could you perhaps attach a testcase that shows the bug?

sorry,
I didn't get the chance to test it again, but it seems to work fine now.
