JavaScript to disable IE password remembering

[Cindy]

I have included a popup calendar in my ASP application. When a user selects a date field the calendar pops up, they select a date, and it is automatically populated in the date entry field. I have noticed that if they click on the entry field once - the calendar pops up as it should. If they click on that same field twice - the calendar pops up the first time and then the second time some other popup screen appears that seems to list every signon id the user has entered to get into different places. Someone mentioned that maybe there was javascript that I could put in the beginning of the code that would disable password remembering. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I can send the code if this is necessary.

None that I know of. I think that's pretty much built in to the browser and is toggled in the user preferences.

You may be able to do this with a special "autocomplete" attribute which IE recognizes.

Netscape 7 remembers passwords as well.

I would have to agree with beetle, I don't know of anyway to avoid this... :(

I think that the whole concept of storing passwords in any form and recalling them when you're using your browser is a very bad idea. But that's Microsoft for you. And Netscape... I guess the point to this is "Don't let someone else access your computer, or if you do, don't store password in memory".

:eek:

I think you're right about it being pretty much built in to the browser and is toggled in the user preferences. If it bothers the users they will have to deselect the options in their IE preferences. I was afraid it was something I had done on the coding end. Thanks to everyone for your help.

Like I said earlier, the 'autocomplete' attribute will do this in IE.
