html suppress input field history
Dear All,
You are almost certainly familiar with the way many browers remember what's been typed in a text box and if you start filling in a text field a box will drop down suggesting various completions? Well, is there any way of putting a hint in the HTML asking the browser not to do this? It's a bit of a giveaway when the box is the answer field in a quiz!
Using a random "name" does the trick, as does name=email2 ... browsers have presumably been told that email2 is not a sensible field to autofill. But neither of those is satisfactory. Random values will recur, not to mention their being a pain to program, and using name=email2 limits me to one text field per page. Is there not a straghtforward rule to suppress the history? Preferably one conciously adhered to by all browsers, hence a W3C standard?
Regards, Schenkel
