Turning Off AutoComplete

Hello,

does anybody know how to turn off the autocomplete feature for a certain
text field?

I am aware of the "autocomple te" attribute, but I have seen other
implementions achieving it without any such attribute and am wondering
whether there is another way to do it .... like via CSS or a naming
convention or .......

Thanks,
Alex

Indeed.
As I already said, newsgroups are always a kind of helpdesk as well.


Newsgroups can indeed be very helpful, but only if you approach
newsgroups in the right frame of mind, i.e as a discussion group. I
see little evidence of the complainants doing that. As such, they'll
be going into the short-term killfile, in the hope that by the time
that entry times-out, they'll have decided to either join-in with the
proper usenet discussion, or to find some other kind of forum for
their "this isn't the answer that I demanded" attitude.

until then, bye

I have a form for entering a user's address and all fields have a required validating control associated with them and the error msg for each field displays right next to it.

Now when the user goes back to that control and starts to input data...

We have a web application developed using IBuySpy. In older versions, Autocomplete on all web forms works. In our latest version, it stopped working on all clients. I have gone through all the groups and tried a bunch of things. Two main areas I keep seeing are, 1. Browser Settings not set correctly. 2. Ability to turn off Autocomplete for a control and a form.

I know that there is a autocomplete property for the HTML "INPUT type=text" control which if set to OFF, disables autocomplete of the input textbox (doesn't remember previously entered values) However there is no such corresponding property for the TEXTBOX ASP.NET Webcontrol in ASP.NET 1.1. I know that there is a AutoComplete Property in the TEXTBOX ASP.NET WebControl in ASP.NET 2.0. Thus I can use AutoComplete.Disabled property in...
