An HTML form with autocomplete on (and off for one input field):
The autocomplete attribute specifies whether or not an input field should have autocomplete enabled.
Autocomplete allows the browser to predict the value. When a user starts to type in a field, the browser should display options to fill in the field, based on earlier typed values.
Note: The autocomplete attribute works with the following <input> types: text, search, url, tel, email, password, datepickers, range, and color.
The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.
Attribute | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
autocomplete | 17.0 | 5.0 | 4.0 | 5.2 | 9.6 |
Tip: In some browsers you may need to activate an autocomplete function for this to work (Look under "Preferences" in the browser's menu).
The autocomplete attribute is new in HTML5.
Value | Description |
