I have tried to find a way to prevent browsers (mostly FF) to prevent auto-filling of my form. I don't mine auto plete, as they type in values it offers suggestions. But when I load a form in FF it auto fills the form with the previous values. But I want to always have the fields be blank on load.

I have tried using autoplete="off" in the tag, but that does not work. Are there any solutions to this? I have looked for other questions and they all say to use that attribute, but it does not work for auto filling, it does for auto plete. Could I use JS/jQuery to do this?

• I guess he is happy with autoplete - if I understood him correctly. But then I don't understand why would his browser auto-fill the previous values on page load. Are you sure there isn't any plugin/extension thats doing this ? – CodeExpress Commented Jul 17, 2012 at 19:47

try this might work for you set autoplete="off"

<input type="text" autoplete="off" />

check : How to Turn Off Form Autopletion

New versions of Chrome and Mozilla don't recognize autoplete="off" or autoplete="false". I solved autoplete issue using this js solution
