[Javascript] How to disable autocomplete

[Ken Schaefer]

Public machines, eg student computer labs.

I also have various data entry forms in our intranet. For recently graduated
students that can no longer use their universal uni password, I need to
manually create accounts for them. I got really sick of a list of hundreds
of student numbers/names/email addresses etc popping up everytime I tabbed
to the relevant field...

Cheers
Ken

: I can't think of a reason why anyone would want to do this. Perhaps it's
: this flu-fuzz fog my brain is in. Does anyone have experience where
: deactivating autocomplete made things easier for the user?
