How to turn off Internet Explorer's 'Auto Complete'

When you try to enter some fields in a web page from Internet Explorer, you may see that IE automatically shows some previously entered values in the same field. You can easily choose one of the options instead of typing the entire value. This is very handy in case of frequently accessed pages.

But, for privacy and security reasons you may want to disable this feature. Internet Explorer allows the user to TURN OFF the Auto Complete feature by setting the options appropriately.

As a web developer or web master, if you want to programmatically disable this feature for your web page, you just need to specify the property for your textbox as shown below:

<input type=text name=email value='' AUTOCOMPLETE=OFF>


The above method disables the AutoComplete for a single field. If you want to disable AutoCOmplete for the entire form, you can use the AUTOCOMPLETE=OFF in the form level.

<form name='myForm' AUTOCOMPLETE=OFF>


If you go to yahoo mail ( http://www.mail.yahoo.com ), you may notice that it doesn't Autocomplete your Yahoo ID. You can right click the yahoo mail page and view the source. They are using AUTOCOMPLETE=OFF in the form level.
