Prevent Firefox autocompletion from popping up

Question

Hi. I wrote an autocompletion script for an input field on a website. It uses jQuery and works fine. It should look something like this:

Unfortunately, Firefox's own autocompletion gets in my way, overlapping some of the results:

Is is it possible to prevent the Firefox autocompletion field from popping up? (Not only on my machine but for every user of the website)

Answer 1

Add autocomplete="off" attribute to the input element in question. E.g.

<input autocomplete="off">

Answer 3

Use autocomplete="off". It's not valid HTML-code, but widely adopted in browsers.

Answer 4

As BalusC already pointed out, you can use the autocomplete attribute but you can also add it to the form element so that it affects all elements:

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

Note that this attribute is not part of a standard but most browsers implement it nevertheless.
