auto password saving feature when using forms

[suro]

I have a user registration form where userid and password must be entered. When tested in Firefox it asks whether i want to save that userid and password (that's one of those auto saving features that prevents you typing the login and password every time, It actually things that it's a login form) how can I make Firefox not do that?

I thought I could do it with the help of the code not browser
It is a registration form not a login form I'm sure there's a way around this
and I think this is more a html question.

Take sitepoints registration form for example, In firefox doesn't ask me anything about saving passwords, but when I try to login it asks

You can do this by using a long term cookie, just make sure the data stored in the cookie isn't too sensitive and that its encrypted. Then when checking whether the user is logged in use the data in this cookie to determine whether to let him/her pass through or prompt for login.
You can also add a javascript prompt to ask the user whether he/she wants the password stored, but then thats bad practice.

Hope I got the point across

Nope actually
I just want the user not to be asked any kind of password saving features from the browser when user enters information in the registration form

That's it.

There's a meta element (and even attribute IIRC) for IE not to do this, so there may be one for mozilla...

Could you bring me an example?
For IE if you don't know for mozilla

<input autocomplete="off">

for IE is the inline attribute. I Googled, but didn't find anything for Firefox.

Maybe try renaming the fields so they arent named user/pass?

This also works in FireFox if I'm not wrong!!
