How would I make information, entered into the form, not to be remembered by the computer? I mean when I click on the text box and it’s becoming sort of list box and showing you all values entered previously- how can I stop it? I know I can change it in the computer settings for individual computer, but can I do it in coding? I want to make all text boxes sort of password type but want still see values entered (not just ***). We are developing software into which people will be entering some sensitive information, so it will be good if even on the same computer person won’t see that was entered previously. I’m sure it should be some easy way... Help, PLEASE!!!!!

 
Hi Natasha,

Where the form appears to 'remember' information previously submitted is due to the Autocomplete function of Internet Explorer.

To switch this function off for your form set up your form tag to specify autocomplete as OFF. Like so:

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;/youraction.cgi&quot; autocomplete=&quot;off&quot;>
