I'm building an autosuggest search, like apple's spotlight... and want to disable the browser from offering text suggestions under the input box. I can't remember if that's an html or css setting and can't find it.
Anyone remember?

A:
The attribute:
<...autocomplete="off".../>
is, I think, what you're looking for.

It’s a non-standard attribute until HTML5 (see http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-input-element-attributes.html#the-autocomplete-attribute), so it will make your code invalid under other HTML doctypes. Sounds like it’s worth it in this context, although you could switch to the HTML5 doctype (`<!DOCTYPE html>`) to get valid code without having to change anything else.
