301 Redirect for Misspelled Domain
I have a couple of domains on the same server and they share the same IP. One domain is a misspelling (www.misspelled.com) and the other is the correct spelling (www.correct.com)

I would like to have it so:
1) if someone types in www.misspelled.com it redirects them to the www.correct.com domain
2) The URL Address on the browser will be rewritten as www.correct.com

I understand that the best way to do this is with a 301 redirect and that is the preferred method of the search engines. I have access to the .htaccess file but am having problems getting this to work. Any suggestions?
-Thanks

This assumes the your web_root for misspelled.com is different from correct.com.
If they are the same, then you will need to add conditions to this.
Code:
.htaccess 
redirect 301 / http://www.correct.com/
