prevent autodropdown by jquery datepicker

Question

hi

when I append jquery datepicker to my asp textbox, by clicking on it, my browser auto shows the history of the dates i typed in a dropdownlist. Can I prevent this?

Set textbox to readonly isn't a good idea because asp.net doesn't read the values from read only fields in code behind.

any other ideas?

thank you and best regards.

Answer 1

if the field is inside a form add

autocomplete="off"

to the form. For example:

<form action=".." method="post" autocomplete="off">

This should prevent the autocomplete function to be activated on the fields inside the form. I don't know if it works on every browser.
