Problem with the browser stored data (form fields)!

[kvijayhari]

hi

i'm having a form in which a text field has a js function which lists the name of the customer by searching the letters typed in the field.. (like the one on gmail mail to column)

The js funtion is working well and there's no problem until i activated the store data options in the browser.

Once i use the forms the data entered before in the form fields are stored by the browser and they are gets listed over the div that is listed by the invoked js function. i want to restrict the browser not to list the stored form data for that field or even restrict the storage of data for that particular field..

Can anyone help on this?

You need to turn off the option to store form field input in your browser if you don't want it popping up. Each browser owner gets to make that choice themselves as to what inputs their browser remembers for them.

Ya you are right.

But i'm in need of restricting the display of stored data for the user for the page.
(I'm developing a page for a site. i'm not asking for myself)

I want to set the restriction as a default property for that particular field.

Set the "autocomplete" attribute to "off" for the field. For example, if you want to disable data stored by the browser from appearing in a text field, you can do something like the following:

<input type="text" name="name" autocomplete="off" />

Hope it helps.
