Is it possible to use CSS to disable autocomplete on a form element  specifically a textfield    I use a tag library which does not permit the autocomplete element and I would like to disable autocomplete without using Javascript

You can t use CSS to disable autocomplete  but you can use HTML    lt input type  text  autocomplete  false    gt    Technically you can replace false with any invalid value and it ll work  This iOS the only solution I ve found which also works in Edge

I tried all suggested ways from this question answers and other articles in the web but not working anyway  I tried autocomplete  new-random-value   autocomplete  off  in form element  using client-side script as below but outside of   document  ready   as one of the user mentioned       input   on  focus   function          this  attr  autocomplete    off         I found maybe another priority in the browser cause this weird behavior  So I searched more and finally  I read again carefully below lines from this good article      For this reason  many modern browsers do not support   autocomplete  off  for login fields       If a site sets autocomplete  off  for a   and the form includes   username and password input fields  then the browser will still offer   to remember this login  and if the user agrees  the browser will   autofill those fields the next time the user visits the page  If a   site sets autocomplete  off  for username and password  fields    then the browser will still offer to remember this login  and if the   user agrees  the browser will autofill those fields the next time the   user visits the page  This is the behavior in Firefox  since version   38   Google Chrome  since 34   and Internet Explorer  since version   11        If you are defining a user management page where a user can specify a   new password for another person  and therefore you want to prevent   auto-filling of password fields  you can use   autocomplete  new-password   however  support for this value has not been implemented on Firefox    It s just worked  I tried in chrome specially and I hope this continues working and help others

Thanks to  ahhmarr s solution I was able to solve the same problem in my Angular ui-router environment  which I ll share here for whoever s interested   In my index html I ve added the following script    lt script type  text javascript  gt      setTimeout function                input   attr  autocomplete    off           2000    lt  script gt    Then to cover state changes  I ve added the following in my root controller    rootScope  on   stateChangeStart   function                      timeout function                             input   attr  autocomplete    off                       2000                     The timeouts are for the html to render before applying the jquery   If you find a better solution please let me know

There are 3 ways to that  i mention them in order of being the better way    1-HTML way   lt input type  quot text quot  autocomplete  quot false quot    gt   2-Javascript way  document getElementById  quot input-id quot   getAttribute  quot autocomplete quot      quot off quot    3-jQuery way     input   attr  autocomplete   off

You can use a generated id and name everytime  which is different  so the browser cannot remember this text-field and will fail to suggest some values    This is at least the cross browser safe alternative  but I would recommend to go with the answer from RobertsonM  autocomplete  off

you can easily implement by jQuery     input   attr  autocomplete   off

As it stands  there is no  autocomplete off  attribute in CSS  However  html has an easy code for this    lt input type  text  id  foo  value  bar  autocomplete  off    gt    If you re looking for a site-wide effector  an easy one would be to simply have a js function to run through all  input  s and add this tag  or look for the corresponding css class   id   The autocomplete attribute works fine in Chrome and Firefox      but see also Is there a W3C valid way to disable autocomplete in a HTML form

CSS does not have this ability  You would need to use client-side scripting
