Feature request - autocomplete="off"
by Steve Piercy
::
Rate this Message:
I'd like to feature request the ability to have autocomplete
turned off on either individual text inputs or the form. This adds security on shared or public computers by preventing a subsequent user from going into the browser history and selecting a username from an autocomplete list. I thought I would modify form.inc myself, but realized I was getting in over my head. It looks like for just <form>, I would need to: * declare an instance variable * include a description of -autocompleteoff in the custom tag * add -optional='autocompleteoff', to the ctag's list of params * set a default value for autocompleteoff to false * add this bit: (self -> 'autocompleteoff') ? #output += ' autocompleteoff="off"'; Is that about right? --steve -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Steve Piercy Web Site Builder Soquel, CA <web@...> <http://www.StevePiercy.com/> -- ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <knop@...>.

Sounds about right.
For now you can use the -raw parameter to inject that code, but would be nice to have as an option.

It doesn't validate for HTML 4.01 Transitional either. http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input: ------------ <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> <form action="foo" method="post" autocomplete="off"> </form> </body> </html> ------------ However many institutions require its use, and I completely agree with its use in certain contexts. Another use is on a credit card number field. Or the activation code for a nuclear weapon.

Okay, I'll have a go at the <form> bit tomorrow and submit
changes for your review. The inputs will require a bit more thought and care. I realized it would need to be applied to inputs of type text and password, and possibly others. --steve On 10/16/09 at 11:31 AM, inbox_js@...

Yeah, you're right, I think -raw makes more sense to use, given that HTML5 is not yet finalized. (plus it is a lot less work) ;) --steve -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Steve Piercy Web Site Builder Soquel, CA <web@...> <http://www.StevePiercy.com/> -- ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <knop@...>.
