Autotext

[IKinsler]

The thinger (in scientific terms) that logs the text you type in an <input type=text> field... Is there a way to NOT log this? When ever someone tries to type in the field, ten bazillion text snippets come up - and they don't want them there. Is there a way to disable it?

<input type="text" ... autocomplete="off">

If you want to remove this feature from your system completely, not just for a certain page:

In IE go through tools to Internet Options. Go to the advanced tab and under browsing deselect Use Autocomplete.

Yes, thank you both, but I was only looking to disable it on my one page so the popup isn't so annoying.

the autocomplete list should only come up if the user has filled in a box with that name so you could always use an original name attribute for that particular text box... eg: avoid using "name", "email" etc...

well... i guess that was for future referance... :rolleyes:

Yes, generally that WOULD work, except my problem is the the exac same text field gets filled in many times, because everytime they enter it they go back to the same page and enter something else.
