I am using Vim 7.0* and I mostly edit HTML files. I've noticed the
on-the-fly spell checking works great in regular .txt files and such,

off. Is there a way to get on-the-fly spellchecking with syntax
highlighting as well?

1. Unless you removed the "Patches included" line, the above means 7.0.000.
The current version is 7.0.224. Make sure to use an up-to-date version:
compile it yourself if you must, get it as a binary distro if you can. For
Windows, you can use Steve Hall's distro from
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721
2. With the latest runtime files (and in particular,
$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/html.vim dated 2006 Jun 19) I get spell checking in HTML
text when 'spell' is set, even with syntax highlighting on. If step 1 doesn't
cure your problem (and on Windows it ought to), get the latest runtime files,
for instance by using the Linux commands below (3 commands, type each of them
all on one line) from the vim70 directory "for building" containing src/
runtime/ and other subdirs. (This assumes you have installed the Vim source:
see http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm for details.
You may or may not want to uninstall the Debian (or other precompiled) Vim
package before you compile your own.
rsync -avzcP --delete --exclude="/dos/" ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ ./runtime/
2>&1 |tee rsync.log
cd src
make installruntime 2>&1 |tee ../install.log
Best regards,
Tony.
