Autocompletion on password fields?
Is it possible to programmatically disable autocompletion on password fields for a html form?
I like this feature but sometimes it get in the way; is there a way to disable it for selected fields and/or for a form?
Regards,
BTJ

It appears that you are using the MyFaces 1.1 library? The
autocomplete attribute was added to the input text and secret
components in JSF 1.2. Can you use the JSF 1.2 version of the MyFaces
library?

Why would you think this is IE only?

Trinidad 1.x.9 has an attribute to turn it off.
So does JSF 1.2 (meaning MyFAces 1.2.x)

Bjørn,
The autocomplete attribute is a non-standard HTML attribute that is
only supported by Microsoft browsers. The attribute will be ignored in
Firefox. Using it, will break html validation. Because of this, I
don't think MyFaces or Trinidad will support it in JSF components. If
it is really important to you, you might be able to write your own
JavaScript function to alter the DOM of the page after it has been
loaded and set the attribute in pages on IE browsers.
