Question

Is there a way to turn off auto-complete on an input-field using jQuery?

Like this:

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

Answer 1

$(':text').attr('autocomplete', 'off');

Answer 2

$('input#id').attr('autocomplete', 'off');

You can also use a common class to turn off a group of fields. There are a few ways to do it though as you'll see from the answers.

Answer 3

$('#id').attr('autocomplete', 'off');

Answer 4

For any text field, you could do this.

$("input[type=text]").attr("autocomplete", "off");

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

"autocomplete" isn't a standard attribute. Yes it's implemented, but it's not proper XHTML.

Do you have to do it client-side? Can you make changes on the server-side if necessary?
