How to clear history of text input

Question

On my HTML page I have multiple text inputs. Every time I enter values in them, it shows me the previously entered values. Is it due to a browser property or HTML? How do I disable it?

Answer 1

Always the better appraoch is to give form autocomplete="off"

<form autocomplete="off">  <input type="text" id="text1"> <input type="text" id="text2">  </form> 

Then only newer versions of Eclipse support HTML5 tags such as autocomplete else it will show warning...

Answer 2

Just set the autocomplete property of your textboxes to off. Like this...

<input type="email" name="email" autocomplete="off"> 

Answer 3

That solution helped me: if you are using google Chrome, try this: Put the mouse pointer on the entry that you want to delete, press Delete. If the entry is not removed, press Shift+Delete.
