Have you tried this?

<div autocorrect="false" contenteditable="true"></div>

For me this works:

<div autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" contenteditable="true" />

is there actually anyone who succeeded in disabling the checker for a **contentEditable** div? I see that this method works for text inputs, but I disagree with this answer. I think it's a bug (or yet unimplemented feature) of Safari mobile (as of iOS 6). – auco Jan 25 '13 at 16:45
This doesn't work with safari mobile.Does Anyone has solved this using jQuery or javascript?? – Sonu Jan 09 '15 at 06:28

I down-voted this answer because the question was specifically about contenteditable elements and this answer is about inputs and textareas. – Kenneth Sundqvist Sep 17 '15 at 13:16
