Sometimes the spell checker is unnecessary, captchas, usernames, emails, etc. Is there a way disable it on some text inputs/text areas?

Answer: Set the spellcheck attribute to false.
In order to enable the spell check feature on iOS, from your Home Screen go to Settings - General, then scroll down and go to Keyboard and scroll down and find the Spell Checking switch. Tap the Spell Checking switch and the Auto-Correction switch to enable them.
Here's how. Click File > Options > Proofing, clear the Check spelling as you type box, and click OK. To turn spell check back on, repeat the process and select the Check spelling as you type box.
As noted by my buddy Jonathan Stark, you should be able to use attributes like autocorrect and autocomplete to achieve the effect you're looking for:
<input type="text" placeholder="My Field" name="myfield" autocapitalize="none" autocorrect="off" autocomplete="off" /> Just tested in OS4 and it's working.
UPDATE: As of iOS5 on and off values in autocapitalize have been deprecated. Use none to completely disable automatic capitalization.
