Way in HTML to prevent Chrome prompting to save address? - html

I have a simple form like Google AutoComplete, where there's an input, it suggests answers, which then fills in a multi-part form in the background and submits it. The problem is, when I submit that form it asks if I want to save the address every time.
Is there a way to prevent Chrome from prompting for this? I've already tried autocomplete="off" or autocomplete="new-password" or autocomplete="do-not-autofill" (from herer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30976223/713874) without luck.
Here is the URL: https://bss.addons.la/trips/booking/triage/
And here is the thing I'm trying to prevent from happening using code:

Send an HTML Form without redirecting to a different domain?

I am having a problem with an HTML form to which I just cannot find a working solution, hence this post. All I want to know is if this is possible in any way or not?
Situation:
I am trying to send an HTML form to an URL from a different domain. When submitting the form, I should not get redirected. I apparently cannot use Javascript (according to the accepted answer in this post), as this would trigger a CORS Request which I cannot use because of the same-origin policy.
and there is no javascript involved in posting the form, then the same origin policy is not applicable.
Things I've tried:
Submitting via Javascript
Setting the target to either blank or to an invisible iframe
Searched through Google and StackOverflow.
The code below works fine, it just redirects me to someotherdomain.com, which I don't want. I want to stay on the current page.
<form method="post" action="someotherdomain.com">
// all the input fields
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
Is this possible in any way or not? Could I solve it in a way that I haven't considered yet?
EDIT: I cannot enable cross-origin requests.

Display custom message after submitting a Google Form

I have a Google Form that allows user to enter their information. After they submit the form, the data is inserted to a Google spreadsheet as a new row.
However I want to show a dynamic message right after the form is submitted, overriding the original "thank you" message. The new message would display the information they just filled in, with an number assigned to him.
For example, Mary filled in her data and submit the form. Since Mary is the 5th person to submit this form, the message shows her number as 5.
Is there any way to achieve this? I have been studying Google App Script and HTML service but I am not sure if this is the correct way.
Please note that we have already using email to send out this message for several years however user strongly suggest that showing their ID right after form submission would make lots of things much easier.
Thank you very much!
Update
I have been working on it and now I am able to make a web page that inserts a new row to a spreadsheet. But another question: How to publish the web page? When I open the "/dev" link it works fine; However when I open the "/exec" link it says cannot find "Index.html" and I am sure there is a file called Index.html.
There is no way to add a custom confirmation message for the current user of the currently open Form. You can run code to change the confirmation message when the Form is submitted, but changing the confirmation message when the Form is submitted won't take affect until the NEXT Form is opened, and that's too late. So the next person to open the Form would get the confirmation message of the previous user.
You would need to convert everything to a stand alone HTML App for something like that.
Google just released a new version of Google Forms. In the settings you can change the confirmation page message for respondents. You can save a link to a web page in the custom message. So if you can create a web page with the data you want displayed, you should be able to save the link in the custom message.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned goal, you need to get the Google form on your web page. No, I am not talking about embedding the form to your web page but to create a stand alone HTML page. The reason behind doing so is since Google is a third party website, editing any code in Google forms is not possible and there is no other way (at least I could not figure out Yet) to place custom thank you page URL for the Google Form. You can even remove certain codes in your HTML page to make sure it doesn't look like or says Google form. Basically, to have custom URL you need to replace

What might be adding parameters to the URL?

I have a login form with username and password parameters. During development while refreshing the browser, on a few occasions I have seen my form parameters get put in the URL. This catches my attention since it's a username and password.
For example: http://localhost:8080/ui/?username=xxxxx&password=xxxxx#/login?redirectedFrom=%2Fsomewhere
However, I don't recall exactly what I did prior to this, and I am unable to reproduce it. I've seen it 3 times over a period of weeks.
Any ideas what might be causing the form parameters to be put in the URL?
I'm not sure if any of this is relevant, but I'm using angular with ui-router. The parameters are also parameters to POST, but I don't recall whether I submitted them. I think (although not sure) each time this has happened it was shortly after my login times out and I am redirected to the login page, which adds a ?redirectedFrom parameter. I'm using Chrome and it remembers and fills in the username/password inputs. Chrome developer tools is open. It might be after restarting the server. A browser refresh was done.
I believe you submitted the form again.
In login form always use POST action in your form tag, like this:
<form action="POST">
Don't press F5 to refresh your page after you submit the form. Click in your URL and enter again in your form page.

Embed HTML form in email

Can I send an email that contains an HTML form with one combobox, that upon changing the value a reply would be send back?
From the research I've made it seems that it is not possible...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_e-mail
Is that true?
Thanks,
Eden
Yes it is possible.
But there are restrictions.Different mail clients and web mails behave in different manners.
For example, Yahoo web mail, upon submitting form brings up a dialog box which warns about sending some info outside Yahoo. You have to disable Javascript if you want your submission work properly, otherwise it doesn't send submit buttons by REQUEST (POST or GET).
In outlook express I checked and it works without any problem.
Because of this problem, I think it isn't recommendable to do form embedding inside email. I suggest to make a web form and send a link to it via email. Although by this approach you may lose some lazier users, but it seems that lose will be lesser than lose arising from problems of email embedded form submission.
Yes that is true. It is not possible. What you can do is provide a link to a webpage and do the combobox action on that website.
You can create a form in google docs and share it via 'email', I have tested it and it shown inline at-least in gmail.

Best Way For Back Button To Leave Form Data

I'm creating a web page based on user input from a form. After the user sees the generated page I want to allow them to press the back button and make changes to the form. I would like to display the form as they had filled it out previously. What is the best way to get this behavior (with cross browser support)?

There is no need to add any clever fancy code; that is what browsers will do by default, unless you take active steps to prevent it, such as:
breaking the cache with Cache-Control/Pragma headers
generating the form page itself from the response to a POST (use POST-Redirect-GET instead)
generating the form elements from script
Cookie solutions are fragile and need special handling if you don't want two tabs open at once to get very confused. Make it easy for yourself: let the browser do the work.
JQuery has a nice cookie plugin which i used to keep exam data while the user browsed the site for the answers in place.
Store the saved information in cookies as delimited data. If the cookie exists, repopulate the form.
If you use document.formName.fieldName syntax, there are no cross-browser issues.
As a fall-back if cookies are disabled, you can store it on the server and do the same with AJAX.
