Browsers auto-filling bad fields

[logicbloke]

Hello,

All the browsers I tested are filling two fields that aren't for logging in, both have different names from the ones on the login form, and eventhough, the browsers fill them, I have read that removing the value tag instead of just writing empty would resolve the problem, but the value tag is already absent from my fields.

PS : Just to mention that my fields have text and password as types.

How can I avoid that ? Does anyone know ?

Most likely the cause will be the password field. Is there any need to have another password field? A link or some code?

[logicbloke]

I have another password field just after this one, for confirmation.

Can you post the HTML code or a link?

    <tr>
            <td class="odd">Website</td>
            <td class="odd">
            <input type="text" <?php if(!empty($user['url'])) echo "value=\"{$user['url']}\"";?> name="url" />
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td class="odd">New password</td>
        <td>
        <input type="password" name="newpass" id="newpass" />
        <input type="password" name="newpassconfirm" id="newpassconfirm" />
        </td>
        </tr>
 

here is the code, newpass gets the password and the url fields gets the uname, I noticed that when the database returns a non-empty value, it doesn't happen.

Is the login form on the same page? If not, the problem will be that the browsers see a blank text field followed by a password field and think "login form" and fill the fields.

The login form will never be in this page, as it is an area for logged-in users only, I will by default fill the field with "http://" if db is empty .. thanks acoder for your messages

here is a nice article which handles the autocomplete-issue ... to avoid it you might use the attribute:

autocomplete="off"

for a node ... but since it is non-standard it will invalidate the html. one workaround would be to set it through javascript ...

kind regards
