Disallow IE AutoComplete?

[westcoaststyle]

I've seen this done on other sites, but can't figure out how it's done. If a user comes in to enter their username/password, how do I disable the AutoComplete so that they can't just click on the text field and select the username from the IE drop menu?

Thanks!

Hi mate,

Try adding autocomplete="off" to the field.

Hope this helps Wullie

So i can set it to all rather than doing it individually,..... but it doesnt matter now, was just wondering.

u dont have to set it to all.
in the for tag u cna do this:
<for autocomplete=&quot;off&quot;....>

all the fields that fall under this tag will automatically be set to off....

<form autocomplete=&quot;off&quot;....>
