How to turn off the AutoComplete using meta tags

I was wondering if there is some other way to turn autocomplete off
besides using "autocomplete=o ff", using a meta tag or something
similar. It would be great if there is some way to turn it off at a
page level.

Any ideas/thought would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Zac

We are developing an intranet application, our front-end uses IE5, but the client doesn't like IE5's AutoComplete ability for remembering
password, they want to turn it off. Other than going to the browser's option, is there any other way to turn it off?

Don't know about meta tags. This relies on javascript being avavilable,
just put it in a script tag after the last element that matters:
var a = document.getEle mentsByTagName( '*'), i = a.length;
while( i-- ) { a[i].autoComplete=' off'; }

You can disable it for the complete form:
<form autocomplete="o ff" ...>

I wish to turn off browser caching through some meta tags. Note the following: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"> However, running against my local site, the browser still caches the page and it's contents. What am I missing?

Hi, If I use master pages with META tags in the head section... can I still use META tag on the child pages (child pages reference the master page). I ask this question because I heard the more pages with META tags containing search engine key words, the higher the search engine ranking. Thanks, King

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
