For an application I recently wrote, user input can sometimes be sizable - over 1 MB for a single textarea. The whole process of paste-then-spellcheck can take over 10 seconds.

I wrote a callback to show a spinning .gif with the message "Processing" as a paste callback:

$("#TA").on("paste", function () {
    show_spinning_gif();
});

This works fine, and the gif appears almost immediately (though it is laggy). However the spellcheck still does not finish for several seconds more, and I need a way to now remove the gif "on-spellcheck-complete" before the user clicks the submit button.

Is there any way to capture the on-spellcheck-complete "event"in jQuery?

As far as I know, there's no jQuery spell check event

there's a plugin though that provides specific events for this case.

This question also has some discussion on how to implement in firefox
