How to start text in input field with lowercase on Android?

Question

I have this webpage and I have this textarea

<textarea class="clipboard"></textarea>

that I use to for mobile entry, and when I type something it always start for uppercase letter (the keyboard is in uppercase mode for first letter) how can I disable this feature?

It's fix when I add left: -9999999px but then the page don't scroll with the input.

Use the autocomplete, autocapitalize, autocorrect and spellcheck attributes:

<textarea autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false"></textarea>

Works on Chrome Dev (latest) and Android 5.1.1 with Google Keyboard and AOSP Keyboard. Doesn't work with SwiftKey Neural (which is in Alpha BTW).
