I have a paper-textarea inside of a drawer. When I go to the page the paper-textarea autofocuses, which opens the drawer. I've tried to get rid of the focus by trying autofocus="false" and autofocus="off", but neither have worked for me. Any help would be appreciated.
<paper-textarea id="descriptionInput" label="Description" invalid="{{descriptionError}}" error-message="please enter a valid description" value="{{description}}" autofocus="false"></paper-textarea>
Update: Another way to go about this might be to remove the focus programatically, but I've tried this.$.descriptionInput.blur() inside of the attached function, and it's not working either.
This is due to iron-autogrow-textarea's autofocus property default value being set to "off". The autofocus attribute is active if it exists, the only way to disable it is to remove it all together (ie, autofocus="disabled" or autofocus="off" will still autofocus the tag).
I've created a pull request and this will hopefully be fixed in future versions.
For the time being, you can create a disabled input tag before the textarea with an autofocus attribute and visibility set to hidden and this will prevent the textarea from gaining focus.
<input disabled autofocus style="visibilty: hidden">
I ran into an issue with the answer by Kevin Ashcraft, on Safari it was not working.
Here is another option, since the issue it due to the presence of the autofocus attribute, you need to remove that attribute. So I have polymer element and in there I have the following
ready:function(){
var list = Polymer.dom(this.root).querySelectorAll('iron-autogrow-textarea');
list.forEach(function (e) {
e.textarea.removeAttribute("autofocus")
});
}
This scans my dialog, finds all iron-autogrow-textarea and removes the attribute from them... you can change the selector to get only the ones you need.
Update this has been fixed as of latest version Should mention this has been fixed in latest version of https://github.com/PolymerElements/iron-autogrow-textarea/releases/tag/v1.0.8

Recently I have come across an issue where I wanted to disable auto-complete in all browsers.
Chrome has a new feature in settings where you can add a card number. And the requirement was to also disable that.
What worked in all browsers was to do this autocomplete=false at form level.
But this is not compliant with w3 rules, where they enforce to have autocomplete=off|on.
Can someone please explain to me why false works in all browsers?
even ie8, all firefox, safari etc., but it is not compliant.
You are right. Setting the autocomplete attribute to "off" does not disable Chrome autofill in more recent versions of Chrome.
However, you can set autocomplete to anything besides "on" or "off" ("false", "true", "nofill") and it will disable Chrome autofill.
This behavior is probably because the autocomplete attribute expects either an "on" or "off" value and doesn't do anything if you give it something else. So if you give it something other than those values, autofill falls apart/doesn't do anything.
With the current version of Chrome it has been found that setting the autocomplete attribute to "off" actually works now.
Also, I have found that this only works if you set the autocomplete attribute in each <input> tag of the form.
There has been a response to this ambiguity in the Chromium bug listings here.
Disclaimer: This was found to be true in Chrome version 47.0.2526.106 (64-bit)
After Chrome version 72.XX:
Chrome ignores autocomplete="off" autocomplete="no-fill" or autocomplete="randomText" both on field and form level.
The only option I found is to follow a work-around by tricking Chrome to populate the autofill on a dummy Textbox and password and then hide them from the user view.
Remember the old method with style="display: hidden" or style="visibility: hidden" is also ignored.
FIX:
So create a DIV with height: 0px;overflow:hidden which will still render the HTML elements but hide them from User's view.
Sample Code:
<div style="overflow: hidden; height: 0px;background: transparent;" data-description="dummyPanel for Chrome auto-fill issue">
<input type="text" style="height:0;background: transparent; color: transparent;border: none;" data-description="dummyUsername"></input>
<input type="password" style="height:0;background: transparent; color: transparent;border: none;" data-description="dummyPassword"></input>
</div>
Just add the above div within the HTML Form and it should work!
Use autocomplete="my-field-name" instead of autocomplete="off". Be careful what you call it, since some values are still recognized like autocomplete="country". I also found that using the placeholder attribute helped in some tricky scenarios.
Example:
<input type="text" name="field1" autocomplete="my-field-name1" placeholder="Enter your name">
Chrome recently stopped using autocomplete="off" because they thought it was overused by developers who didn't put much thought into whether or not the form should autocomplete. Thus they took out the old method and made us use a new one to ensure we really don't want it to autocomplete.
$("#selector").attr("autocomplete", "randomString");
This has worked reliably everytime for me.
Note : I have invoked this LOC on modal show event.
If anyones reading this and is having difficulty disabling autocomplete on username and password fields for new users, I found setting autocomplete="new-password" works in Chrome 77. It also prevented the username field from auto completing.
Ref: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#autofill
Auto complete value other that off and false works.
autoComplete="nope"
autoComplete="foo"
autoComplete="boo"
autoComplete="anythingGoesHere"
Tested on chrome 76 and react 16.9.0
It's 2020 and if someone is still struggling with it as I did. The only solution that worked for me is as follows, setting autocomplete to any random string disables the autocomplete but it works only if its done after the page load. If that random string is kept as default value then chrome annoyingly sets it back to off. So what worked for me is (I'm using jquery) on document ready event, I added the following,
window.setTimeout(function () {
$('your-selector').attr('autocomplete', 'google-stop-doing-this');
}, 1000);
Without the timeout, Chrome still somehow resets its back to off.
if there any "password type input" in your form you can try this;
<input type="password" ..... autocomplete="new-password" />
Try this one:
.
<input type="text" autocomplete="__away">
autocomplete="none" perfectly works for angularjs and angular 7
Try this over input tag:
readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');
Example:
<input type="text" class="form-control" autocomplete="false" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');">
Setting the autocomplete attribute to true|false or on|off both does not work in all the conditions. Even when you try with to placeholder also it wont work.
I tried to use autocomplete="no" for avoiding the chrome autofill plugin.
This autocomplete="no" should be written inside a input line, for example
Although it might not be the most elegant solution, this worked for me:
JQuery version:
$("input:-internal-autofill-selected").val('');
VanillaJS version:
document.querySelectorAll("input:-internal-autofill-selected").forEach(function(item){item.value = '';})
When Chrome autofills an input field, the fields gets an internal pseudo element -internal-autofill-selected (which also gives the input the light blue background). We can use this pseudo element as selector in order to undo the Chrome autocomplete/autofill.
Please note that you may (depends on your implementation) need to wrap your code in a timeout as Chrome autofills after the DOM is loaded.
Not perfect but working solution using jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1) {
$("#selector").attr("autocomplete", "nope"); // to disable auto complete on chrome
}
})
autocomplete="one-time-code"
worked for me.
As an addition to #camiblanch answer
Adding autocomplete="off" is not gonna cut it.
Change input type attribute to type="search".
Google doesn't apply auto-fill to inputs with a type of search.
I'm using EmberJS for my webapp and when I create a new record (set in edit mode), my first field (input text) has the autofocus="autofocus" parameter set. It works on Chrome the first time without problem, but not after.
The page loads once because it's an Ember app, and the views (record views) are being re-generated when I create a new record.
Any idea how to resolve this issue?
EDIT:
I have removed the autofocus property, and tried only to use Jquery focus() like in https://stackoverflow.com/a/14763643
App.FocusedTextField = Em.TextField.extend({
didInsertElement: function() {
this.$().focus();
}
});
Now, there is no focus even the first time. Also, if I tried replacing this.$().focus(); with this.$().hide();, then the input is hidden. this.$() in the console shows the right input as well, but focus() just does not work!
I would consider moving your input to a view or a component and then do something like this.$().focus(); in the didInsertElement function.
I came across the exact same issue with autofocus but the .focus() function did work for me. Here's how I coded it:
html:
<input type="text" id="idTextbox"/>
javascript:
$('#idTextbox').focus();
Is there a way to prevent the LastPass browser extension from filling out a HTML-based form with an input field with the name "username"?
This is an hidden field, so I don't want any software to use this field for their purposes:
<input type="text" name="username" id="checkusername" maxlength="9" value="1999" class="longinput" style="display:none">
The solution should not be like "rename the input field".
Adding
data-lpignore="true"
to an input field disabled the grey LastPass [...] box for me.
Sourced from LastPass.com
Two conditions have to be met:
The form (not the element) needs to have autocomplete="off" attribute
Lastpass user needs to have this option enabled:
(old) Settings > Advanced > Allow pages to disable autofill
(new) Account Options > Extension Preferences > Advanced > Respect AutoComplete=off: allow websites to disable Autofill
So this depends on both user and the developer.
What worked for me is having word "-search-" in the id of the form, something like <form id="affiliate-search-form"> - and lastpass doesn't add its elements onto the form inputs. It works with something simpler like <form id="search"> but doesn't work with <form id="se1rch">
I know I'm late to the party here, but I found this when I was trying to stop lastpass from ruining my forms. #takeshin is correct in that autocomplete is not enough. I ended up doing the hack below just to hide the symbol. Not pretty, but I got rid of the icon.
If any lastpass developers are reading this, please give us an attribute to use, so we don't have to resort to stuff like this.
form[autocomplete="off"] input[type="text"] {
background-position: 150% 50% !important;
}
I think lastpass honors the autocomplete="off" attribute for inputs, but I'm not 100% sure.
EDIT
As others have pointed out. this only works if the user has last pass configured to honor this.
For me worked either type=search which is kinda equal to text or using role=note.
You can check the LastPass-JavaScript but it's huge, may be you can find some workaround there, from what I saw they only check 4 input types, so input type=search would be one workaround:
!c.form && ("text" == c.type || "password" == c.type || "url" == c.type || "email" == c.type) && lpIsVisible(c))
Also those are the role-keywords they seem to ignore:
var c = b.getAttribute("role");
switch (c) {
case "navigation":
case "banner":
case "contentinfo":
case "note":
case "search":
case "seealso":
case "columnheader":
case "presentation":
case "toolbar":
case "directory":`
I checked LastPass' onloadwff.js, prepare for 26.960 lines of code :)
Add "search" to input id
<input type="text" name="user" id="user-search"/>
Bit late to the party but I have just achieved this with modifying the form with:
<form autocomplete="off" name="lastpass-disable-search">
I guess this fools lastpass into thinking that it's a search form. This does not work for password fields however! Lastpass ignores the name field in this case.
The only way I've managed to do this is to add the following directly at the top of the form:
<form autocomplete="off">
<div id="lp" ><input type="text" /><input type="password" /></div><script type="text/javascript">setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById('lp').style.display = 'none'},75);</script>
</form>
It causes a nasty flicker but does remove the autofill nonsense - though it does still show the "generate password" widget. LastPass waits until domready and then checks to see if there are any visible password fields, so it's not possible to hide or shrink the mock fields above.
This ES6 style code was helpful for me as it added data-lpignore to all my input controls:
const elements = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
for (let element of elements) {
element.setAttribute("data-lpignore", "true");
}
To access a specific INPUT control, one could write something like this:
document.getElementById('userInput').setAttribute("data-lpignore", "true");
Or, you can do it by class name:
const elements = document.getElementsByClassName('no-last-pass');
for (let element of elements) {
element.setAttribute("data-lpignore", "true");
}
For this latest October 2019 buggy release of Lastpass, this simple fix seems to be best.
Add
type="search"
to your input.
The lastpass routine checks the type attribute to determine what to do with its autofill, and it does nothing on this html5 type of "search." This fix is mildly hacky, but it's a one line change that can be easily removed when they fix their buggy script.
Note: After doing this, your input might appear to be styled differently by some browsers if they pick up on the type attribute. If you observe this, you can prevent it from happening by setting the browser-specific CSS properties -webkit-appearance and -moz-appearance to 'none' on your input.
None of the options here (autocomplete, data-lpignore etc.) prevented LastPass from auto-filling my form fields unfortunately. I took a more sledge-hammer approach to the problem and asynchronously set the input name attributes via JavaScript instead. The following jQuery-dependent function (invoked from the form's onsubmit event handler) did the trick:
function setInputNames() {
$('#myForm input').each(function(idx, el) {
el = $(el);
if (el.attr('tmp-name')) {
el.attr('name', el.attr('tmp-name'));
}
});
}
$('#myForm').submit(setInputNames);
In the form, I simply used tmp-name attributes in place of the equivalent name attributes. Example:
<form id="myForm" method="post" action="/someUrl">
<input name="username" type="text">
<input tmp-name="password" type="password">
</form>
Update 2019-03-20
I still ran into difficulties with the above on account of AngularJS depending upon form fields having name attributes in order for ngMessages to correctly present field validation error messages.
Ultimately, the only solution I could find to prevent LastPass filling password fields on my Password Change form was to:
Avoid using input[type=password]entirely, AND
to not have 'password' in the field name
Since I need to be able to submit the form normally in my case, I still employed my original solution to update the field names 'just in time'. To avoid using password input fields, I found this solution worked very nicely.
Here's what worked for me to prevent lastpass from filling a razor #Html.EditorFor box in Chrome:
Click the active LastPass icon in your toolbar, then go to Account Options > Extension Preferences.
On this screen check "Don't overwrite fields that are already filled" (at the bottom)
Next, click "advanced" on the left.
On this screen check "Respect AutoComplete=off: allow websites to disable Autofill".
I did not need to do anything special in my ASP cshtml form but I did have a default value in the form for the #Html.EditorFor box.
I hope this helps and works for someone. I could not find any Razor-specific help on this problem on the web so I thought I'd add this since I figured it out with the help of above link and contributions.
For someone who stumbles upon this - autocomplete="new-password" on password field prevents LastPass from filling the password, which in combination with data-lpignore="true" disables it at all
Try this one:
[data-lastpass-icon-root], [data-lastpass-root] {
display: none !important;
}
Tried the -search rename but for some reason that did not work. What worked for me is the following:
mark form to autocomplete - autocomplete="off"
change the form field input type to text
add a new class to your css to mask the input, simulates a password field
css bit: input.masker {
-webkit-text-security: disc;
}
Tried and tested in latest versions of FF and Chrome.
type="hidden" autocomplete="off"
Adding this to my input worked for me. (the input also had visibility: hidden css).
Update NOV 2021
I have noticed that all LastPass widgets are wrapped in div of class css-1obar3y.
div.css-1obar3y {
display: none!important;
}
Works perfectly for me
None of these work as of 10/11/2022.
What I did was add the following to a fake password field
<input id="disable_autofill1" name="disable_autofill1"
style="height:0; width:0; background:transparent;
border:none;padding:0.3px;margin:0;display:block;"
type="password">
This seems to be enough to minimize the size this element takes on screen (pretty much 0 for me) while still not triggering last pass's vicious algorithm. Put it before the real password field.
I'm sure a variant of this could be used to fool last pass for other fields where we don't need autofill or to suggest a new password.
I've found what I believe to be a bug with Firefox and I'm wondering if this actually is a bug, as well as any workarounds for this.
If you create a basic webpage with the following source:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<input id="txtTest" type="text" />
<input type="button" onclick="$('#txtTest').attr('disabled','disabled');" value="Set Disabled (jQuery)" />
<input type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('txtTest').disabled = true;" value="Set Disabled (js)" />
<input type="button" onclick="$('#txtTest').removeAttr('disabled');" value="Remove Disabled" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you disable the textbox dynamically and then refresh the page, the textbox will remain disabled instead of resetting back to its original state of not disabled. I've tried this in IE8 and Chrome and those behave as I would expect, resetting the textbox back to not disabled when I refresh.
Another interesting bit of information is that it still does the same thing if the input is a checkbox instead of a textbox.
This is a "feature" of Firefox which remembers form input values across page refreshes. To fix this behavior, you simply set autocomplete="off" on the form containing the inputs, or just directly to the input.
This stops autocomplete from working and prevents the browser from remembering the state of input fields.
Alternatively, you can just "hard-refresh" by clicking CTRL+F5. This will completely reset the current page.
To deal with the back button, do this (from here)
window.addEventListener('pageshow', PageShowHandler, false);
window.addEventListener('unload', UnloadHandler, false);
function PageShowHandler() {
window.addEventListener('unload', UnloadHandler, false);
}
function UnloadHandler() {
//enable button here
window.removeEventListener('unload', UnloadHandler, false);
}
As mentioned before you need to add autocomplete="off" to your buttons.
Here is a sh+perl snippet to automate this in the case of <button>s in your HTML files/templates (under some assumptions):
find /path/to/html/templates -type f -name '*.html' -exec perl -pi -e \
's/(?<=<button )(.*?)(?=>)/#{[(index($1,"autocomplete=")!=-1?"$1":"$1 autocomplete=\"off\"")]}/g' \
{} +
The assumptions are:
Opening <button> tags begin and end on the same line. If this is not the case (i.e. they might be split over several lines) then replacing /g with /gs should help (the s modifier causes . to match newlines as well)
Valid HTML (e.g. there are no funny characters between < and >) and no unescaped greater than (>) inside the opening tag.
This is indeed an open bug in Firefox. There is also a note in MDN: autocomplete (scroll down to the second yellow box):
Note: The autocomplete attribute also controls whether Firefox will — unlike other browsers — persist the dynamic disabled state and (if applicable) dynamic checkedness of an <input> element, <textarea> element, or entire <form> across page loads. The persistence feature is enabled by default. Setting the value of the autocomplete attribute to off disables this feature. This works even when the autocomplete attribute would normally not apply by virtue of its type. See bug 654072.
If you are using Bootstrap, you might be interested in the
comment on the bug report by a Bootstrap team member
bug report in the Bootstrap repository
note in the Bootstrap documentation
I have a bunch of optional "write-in" values for a survey I'm working on.
These are basically a radio button with a textbox within the answer field - the idea being that you would toggle the button and write something into the box.
What I'd like to do is have the radio button toggled whenever a user clicks in the text field - this seems like a use-case that makes a lot of sense.
Doing this:
<input type="radio" id="radiobutton"><label for="radiobutton">Other: <input type="text" id="radiobutton_other"></label>
works fine in Chrome (and I am guessing, other WebKit browsers as well), but there are weird selection issues in Firefox, so I'm assuming its a non-standard practice that I should stay away from.
Is there a way to replicate this functionality without using JavaScript? I have an onclick function that will work, but we're trying to make our site usable for people who might have NoScript-type stuff running.
Putting an input inside a label actually has a slightly different meaning. It doesn't make the input itself a label, it implicitly associates the label with the input in the same way as if they were linked by a for/id.
However, this only happens when the label doesn't already have a for attribute to override that (see HTML4 s17.9: “When present, the value of this attribute must be the same as the value of the id attribute of some other control in the same document. When absent, the label being defined is associated with the element's contents.”). It is unclear according to spec what should happen when both containment and for are present.
(And also it doesn't work in IE, which makes the point moot in practical terms.)
No, you'll need some scripting for this.
<input type="radio" id="radiobutton">
<label for="radiobutton_other">Other:</label>
<input type="text" id="radiobutton_other">
<script type="text/javascript">
var other= document.getElementById('radiobutton_other');
other.onchange=other.onkeyup= function() {
if (this.value!=='')
document.getElementById('radiobutton').checked= true;
};
</script>
It (an input inside a label) validates just fine as HTML 4.01. One potential issue I can see with your code is that both radio elements have the same ID in your example. Element IDs must be unique in HTML and XHTML documents and you should use the name attribute instead to identify a radio group.
If you are still having trouble after changing this, you will have to move the input outside of the <label> element and use scripting.
