Any tricks?
You could add a random number to the end of the field's name
attribute. E.G. <input type="textbox" name="ssecuritynumber284625" />
Depending on the sort of CGI you use, you can strip the numbers out
and retrieve the original form name.
The browser would still remember it but it there would be a very slim
chance of ever popping up again.
