Disable Autocomplete

[LWSChad]

Hello,

Does anybody know how to disable autocomplete on text input fields?

 

THANKS

[Jan]

Hello Eiq,

 

As far as I know, you can add the Header&Footer element and enter the following code to the Footer:

<script type= "text/javascript">
document.getElementById("caspioform").autocomplete = 'off';
</script>

I hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply,,, the reason I couldn't get it to work is that apparently Google Chrome is ignoring 

.autocomplete = 'off'

That code should work in other browsers.

 

A workaround that works, but affects performance, is to create an empty table to use as an AutoComplete lookup table.

What is the reason of having an autocompelete field and disabling it?  Why not just using text field ?

I'm not referring to a Caspio Autocomplete that I can control.

 

I'm referring to the Autocomplete function in all web browsers that get their values from previous entries.

Hello EIQ,

This function is supported only by the following versions of browsers:

Internet Explorer 9.0+,Chrome 17.0+, Opera 9.6+, Safari 5.2+, Firefox 4.0+, Android  2.3+, iOS 3.0+

Maybe you are using the earlier version of chrome.

Hello,

Also you can try the following code:
document.getElementById("caspioform").setAttribute("autocomplete", "off");

Hello ezIQchad, 

 

You may explicitly set autocomplete to 'off' specifically to input fields with type of 'text' with this code.

 

document.querySelectorAll('input[type=text]').forEach( (elem) => {elem.autocomplete = "off"})

autocomplete=”off” is not valid markup with XHTML Transitional, which is a common DOCTYPE.

I always have this code in web programming and it is working until now, you may try this and it might help.

 

if (document.getElementsByTagName) {

var inputElements = document.getElementsByTagName(“input”);

for (i=0; inputElements; i++) {

if (inputElements.className && (inputElements.className.indexOf(“disableAutoComplete”) != -1)) {

inputElements.setAttribute(“autocomplete”,”off”);

}

}

}

/* Turn autocomplete off  on form*/ 
document.getElementById("caspioform").setAttribute("autocomplete", "off"); 

 

/* Turn autocomplete off  on each input text element*/ 
if (document.getElementsByTagName("input").length > 0) {
  var inputElements = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
  for (i=0; i < inputElements.length ; i++) {
    if (inputElements[i].getAttribute("type") == "text") {
      var att = document.createAttribute("autocomplete");
      att.value = "off";
      inputElements[i].setAttributeNode(att); 

    }
  }
}

Hii there, you can disable autocomplete from the Browser setting as well.
