Turn autocomplete off with rails form_tag

Question

I'm trying to turn autocomplete off in one of my rails forms. Here's what I've tried so far:

# add it at the form level = form_tag admin_sessions_path, autocomplete: "off" do 

That didn't work.

# add it at the element level .panel   = label_tag :email   = email_field_tag :email, params[:email], autocomplete: 'off' 

Neither did that.

# add it to both = form_tag admin_sessions_path, autocomplete: "off" do    # add it at the element level   .panel     = label_tag :email     = email_field_tag :email, params[:email], autocomplete: 'off' 

When I visit my form, my email address and saved password are already filled-in. What am I doing wrong here? I love rails, but it really drives me mad sometimes.

As of Rails 4+

Disable autocomplete for an entire form with form_tag:

= form_tag admin_sessions_path, html: { autocomplete: "off" } do 

Disable autocomplete for an entire form with form_for:

= form_for @user, html: { autocomplete: "off" } do |f| 

Disable autocomplete for a single form element:

= f.text_field :foo, autocomplete: 'off' 

Hope this helps!
