Question

Stopping browser autocomplete in text boxes

Has anyone found a way to stop the browser autocomplete dropdown choices from being shown on TEBs in a published project? Preferably by adding the form or input autocomplete attribute to the Captivate publish template, but even manually adding it post-publish to every project would be better than nothing. We're seeing the same issues previously reported where if a user picks an item from the autocomplete choices, the form auto submits, causing a loss of data in the record. Primary browsers are Chrome and IE. Thanks!

    Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I've looked around and found several options, but none of them are working for me. (My lack of skill in coding and knowing where to put code could be contributing to that.)

    I have not had a chance to test this but perhaps you can try this to see if it works.

    Place the code as an onEnter action (Execute JavaScript) for the slide where your TEBs are.

     

    $("input").attr("autocomplete","off");
