Is it possible to stop 1 single form field from being cached?
I would like all the name and address fields to be cached by Internet
Explorer, but not the credit card field.
How is that done?
thanks

Well, yes I would. I want my default browser to ask me when I enter
form data if it should save it and reenter it automatically next time.
Mind you, the browser should not do this without asking, since that
would be a privacy violation, in particular in public situations
(kiosk browser, library, etc.). A well run internet cafe or library
would configure the browser to disable saving form data. But that
should be done on the client side.
Maybe things work differently on your system. In the Mac versions of IE, the
autocomplete items are fetched from the user profile, so I don't think it
would cause problems in internet cafes.
But whenever I click in an empty INPUT box and press the "0" key, my phone
number appears. Or if I press the "2" key, my street address appears.
Of course if I carry on typing, the additional text goes away. But if I just
want to type in a "0" or a "2" by itself, then I have to *delete* the
autocomplete text. When the text box is just one character wide, I can't see
that the autocomplete text has been added, so sometimes it gets left there
by mistake. Obviously I'd be in big trouble if this happened with my credit
card number.
So I think autocomplete should definitely be disabled for sensitive
information like credit card numbers and passwords.

Why not? I want it entered in automatically on my home computer,
since someone would have to break into my house and steal my
computer to get the number.
What does IE do if someone hid that form gadget, yet IE has cached
answers for it? Does it autofill it with your credit card again,
and you might you unknowingly submit it to someone?
I'm not sure I follow. There is no autofill for hidden form fields,
since there's no way to fill it in in the first place.
That's not something I'd care to experiment with, nor would I be
very surprised at IE doing something very stupid.
Even if it were true, the answer to a stupid IE feature is not markup
to disable that stupid feature, is it?

Hello, a stupid question but...
page_A.php is a page with a form.
The user inserts text in four fields, then he clicks a submit button.
The data goes to page_B.php:
this page controls the data submitted, then echoes a message.
If there were problems with the submitted data the message says:
"a problem occurred with your data. Click here to come back to the
form" (page_A.php).
When the user comes back, he finds the fields white.
