Menu
I have a textbox in a form field that gets populated by the user. However currently (in Firefox 10) the user can navigate away from the page, then come back, and the input will be populated with its previous value. I think this creates for a confusing user experience, and would like to prevent it.
Is there a way to do this without manually resetting the value? I have tried changing the response to not cache as well as setting autocomplete='false' with no luck.

Here's how... When you're in Google Chrome, click on View, then select Developer, then Developer Tools. Alternatively, you can right click on a page in Chrome, then click Inspect. Click on the Network tab, then check the box to Disable cache.
Caching is a feature in web browsing that allows recent web pages to be stored temporally in web browsers. This feature is important because it improves the page load time and reduces browsing costs. It is a resourceful technique that can be used by developers to improve web browsing experience.
For example, since cache information can contain sensitive data, it has to be protected from unauthorized access. In the case of Web applications, you would need to avoid caching confidential information on the user's browser in order to prevent accessing the data outside the control of the Web application.
Try with autocomplete="off", but it will not work with all browsers
PS: duplicate...
Stop browser from filling textboxes with details
Make page to tell browser not to cache/preserve input values

just add simple script in some global JS:
$("form :input").attr("autocomplete", "off"); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
