Prevent Form Cache

[Don - TFE, Inc]

Hello~
I am looking for a method to prevent form entry fields from being cached.
I need to prevent the user from being able to click on a forms field and a
drop down appearing which lets them choose from a previous entry.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Don

Try this:

<form>
<INPUT TYPE="password" AUTOCOMPLETE="off">
</form>

I haven't used it, but I think it works. You might wanna try putting the autocomplete directive in the form tag.

Impossible. It's a browser setting.

Invalid code.

Michael, it does work.
I put a demo up here:

It _may_ work. It's invalid code, the 'autocomplete' attribute is not
part of any web standard.
