As my title states, I am hoping somebody can confirm for me if the HTML input attribute Autocomplete works in Jquery Mobile 1.4.5 ?
I am just wanting the basic email and telephone etc to pre-populate with previously entered data.
I have searched the net and Stack Overflow for an answer but just can not find one. The support documentation for JQM is not helping me either.
Whilst searching for answers I have seen so many links for autocomplete plugins and widgets for Jquery etc and this is making me thing it is not supported natively, but most of these offer pre-populated lists or set lists.
An example of how I was hoping to get away with it, which unfortunately does not work.
<div class="ui-field-contain">
<label for="mobile-number-alerts1">Mobile number for SMS alerts:</label>
<input type="tel" id="mobile-number-alerts1" value="" data-clear-btn="true"
autocomplete="on">
</div>
<div class="ui-field-contain">
<label for="email-notifcation1">Email address for notifications:</label>
<input type="email" id="email-notifcation1" value="" data-clear-btn="true"
autocomplete="on">
</div>
If anybody could just confirm if it should work or not that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance.
Unfortunately this question earned me tumbleweed, I have not been able to use the standard html autocomplete function with in Jquery Mobile 1.4.5 so I can only assume that it is not supported.

I need your help with an error that i met. I want my website(eshop) to pass WCAG AA accessibility tests (webaim, achecker, w3validator). Plenty of errors came up and since there isn’t any tool to autofix it, and not temp fix upon loading like UserWay, i am correcting it one by one.
One of the plugins that i used is Contact Forms 7. Before i proceed on the problem, i must mention that i use a theme from envato market called Metro, Elementor, Woocommerce, WPML.
The report of wave.webaim.org found an error in the following page
https://benetialingerie.gr/contact/?lang=en (and in its translation).
The error is:
Missing form label
A form control does not have a corresponding label.
You may find below the code.
<div class=”metro-contact-form” aria-label=”contact form”>
<h3 class=”rtin-title” aria-label=”title area”>Send Us a Message</h3>
<div class=”row” aria-label=”name area”><div class=”col-md-6 form-group”>[text* your-name class:form-control placeholder “Name *”]</div><div class=”col-md-6 form-group”>[email* your-email class:form-control placeholder “Email *”]</div></div>
<div class=”row” aria-label=”subject area”><div class=”col-md-6 form-group”>[text* your-subject class:form-control placeholder “Subject *”]</div><div class=”col-md-6 form-group”>[tel your-phone class:form-control placeholder “Phone”]</div></div>
<div class=”form-group” aria-label=”text area”>[textarea* your-message class:form-control placeholder “Message *”]</div>
<div class=”form-group” aria-label=”Submit button”>[submit “Submit”]</div>
[response]
</div>
As i undestand, the code must have elements. Since i am not familiar in coding and my developing skills are limited, can you please help me out? Any advices?
Thanks in advance.

The code you are displaying is the widget code people need to insert in their WordPress pages to render the form.
That is not the actual code generating the forms, as that code is in the PHP files of the plugin itself.
My suggestion is to hire a web dev who can go into those files.
In terms of accessibility you need to make sure that each input field has a label (specifics of this apply).
Bad example, missing label: <input type="text">
Good example: <label for="nameField">Insert name</label><input id="namefield" type="text">
So, you need to have a label and that label also needs to be connected with the actual input field via the for attribute pointing to the id of the input.
Like #Manuel Cheta said you need to wrap your input field with a label tag. For example:
<label for="**your-email**">[text* your-email **id:your-email** placeholder "your email"]</label>
but you also need to add the id of this input field.
Although, Contact form 7 supports HTML directly. So, if you have code like this:
<div>
<p><input name="your-email" aria-label="Your Email" /></p>
<p><input name="your-name" aria-label="Your Name" /></p>
</div>
you could also have aria-label="Email" attribute. That works fine to me too!
How do I prevent a form from suggesting auto-complete values, from previous entries or from saved information in Edge?
In the above image, the email input field is marked as autocomplete="false", but still in the right pane you can see the suggestion is populating.
When I add autocomplete=disabled to one field it seems it work, but when I add the attribute to all the inputs, it again starts displaying suggestions for every field.
What is the solution for this?
Add the aria-autocomplete="list" attribute to the input.
<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="attr1" aria-autocomplete="list">
Do not use any other value for the attribute.
According to your description, I reproduced the problem. I think your issue is caused by the "Save and fill personal info" setting being enabled in Edge.
If you navigate to edge://settings/personalinfo and disable this feature, you can see this behavior no longer exists.
Or you can also click the "Manage personal info" option in the picture you provided, and then disable it.
I did some simple tests and found that if you need to solve the problem from the code, you need to modify the name attribute of the form's related field.
Like this（do not use attribute values like name or email... and maybe there are others I am not aware of):
<label for="attr1">attr1:</label>
<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="attr1">
<label for="attr2">attr2 :</label>
<input type="text" id="LastName" name="attr2">
<label for="attr3">attr3 :</label>
<input type="email" id="Email" name="attr3" autocomplete="off">
<input type="submit">
I don't recommend this, because good naming helps you understand and maintain the code. Using proper attributes like name and email also helps your code be more accessible for screen readers or other assistive technology.
Autocomplete has been causing me trouble for quite some time. It overlays buttons and search results which causes users to click it instead of a link on the webpage.
I have been searching the internet for solutions to this for literally years. None of them are both practical and work consistently. I have tried all the alternatives to "off" listed throughout the relevant Google searches.
Below I have uploaded a GIF. The GIF shows me triggering autocomplete on an input which has autocomplete set to off.
I then remove the name attribute of a separate input within the form and suddenly autocomplete switches off.
I also demonstrate that having the keyword "Company" in the placeholder seems to override autocomplete=off. However, this does not seem to override autocomplete=off in all situations.
In the below example I used a datepicker, but I can also reproduced the problem with simple text inputs.
Is there a reason behind this strange behavior?
One solution is to use type="search", however, this may not be the desired approach for all developers.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried this ?
<input name="unm" id="unm" type="text" autocomplete="false" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" />
Try using a form method.
<form method="post" action="">
<div>
<label for="cc">Please work:</label>
<input type="text" id="cc" name="cc" placeholder="Enter a company here" autocomplete="off">
</div>
Now that Mavericks is out, and it can use autofill to handle credit card info, are there specific field names they look for?
Well I'm not sure exactly about how Mavericks handles it but in chrome you can accomplish autofill in a way like this:
<form method="post" autocomplete="on">
<input name="cc-name" autocomplete="cc-name" type="text" placeholder="Full Name" required />
<input name="cc-number" autocomplete="cc-number" type="text" placeholder="Credit Card Number" required />
<input name="cc-exp" autocomplete="cc-exp" type="text" placeholder="Expire Date" required />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send my personal info to this person.." />
</form>
If safari works how chrome does it might have a regex scanner that looks for familiar terms and fills it in to the best of it's ability. It's very difficult to find any full details on how properly write an autocomplete form. The best bet is try it out and see what works then update your post with your results.
From my research it seems that for an autocomplete form to be filled with credit card info the web page MUST be under a secure domain ( https:// )
This is a list of all the autofill values that might work http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#autofill-field
Good luck! and don't abuse it.. That being said, not too many people will actually have their credit card set up for autofill for security reasons. I personally wouldn't for the risk of someone abusing the autofill feature and stealing my information with malicious JavaScript.
I already posted a similar question and got a jQuery solution that works. Now I want to do it with only CSS/HTML. I saved twitter's homepage locally and deleted all the js scripts and noticed that the effect I'm trying to achieve is with CSS/HTML (when you click on the username/pass the values "Username"/"Password" stay there until you enter text).
I'm a newbie at these kind of new CSS/HTML effects and have spent the last couple of hours trying to replicate it with no success.
Here's the html of twitter's login form:
<form action="#" class="signin" method="post">
<fieldset class="textbox">
<div class="holding username">
<input type="text" id="username" value="" name="session[username_or_email]" title="Username or email" autocomplete="on">
<span class="holder">Username</span>
</div>
<div class="holding password">
<input type="password" id="password" value="" name="session[password]" title="Password">
<span class="holder">Password</span>
</div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="subchck">
<label class="remember">
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="remember_me">
<span>Remember me</span>
</label>
<button type="submit" class="submit button">Sign in</button>
</fieldset>
I've looked over the site's CSS but it's 10,000 lines and very complicated. How should the CSS look like? Or could you point me out to a tutorial on how to achieve the same effect as this is driving me nuts?
Thank you very much,
Cris
Set the HTML autofocus attribute:
<input type="text" placeholder="Type here ..." autofocus="autofocus" />
You can target elements that are focused or blured like so:
input:focus {color:red;}
You now need to nest the CSS to hide the span called holder inside the input.
span.holder input:focus {visibility:hidden;}
I have not tried this, but it would be something like this.
To clarify, I have just pulled the JavaScript twitter use and the source for their home page and I can confirm that they are using the following JavaScript function for focus on the field
inp.focus()
The JavaScript is quite lengthy but it looks like after a quick read that they are using jQuery that is setting focus based on the class being username.
I just looked at the autofocus property suggested by another poster and this method has worked for me in my web app currently under development.
The code for this is
<input type="text" id="username" value="" name="session[username_or_email]" title="Username or email" autocomplete="on" autofocus>
Note, per the documentation at the W3C website, the autofocus property can only be used once on the page. I have put it into a form that is hidden and shown in an inline element using Fancybox.
The grayed out text in the input field can be done with the place-holder element, something I'm already using, add the following into your input element
placeholder="Username"
NOTE: Both placeholder and autofocus are HTML5 properties and may not be supported by all major browsers yet, this is why JavaScript is still being used by sites like twitter.
The styling is done based on CSS/CSS3 greatly, an excellent resource is W3Schools. I would recommend for what you're wanting to achieve start at the CSS3 section looking at borders.
Another resource that is excellent but hasn't been updated for about a month and a half sadly is doctype.tv. Nick has some fantastic advise regarding styling your website along with some great insight into design.
Judging by the bolded text in your question (when you click on the username/pass the values "Username"/"Password" stay there until you enter text), I'm guessing what you want is the placeholder attribute, which #phihag has in his example.
<input type="text" placeholder="This text will disappear" />
The placeholder attribute works without Javascript in browsers that support it. For older browsers, you'll need some Javascript, and this is probably what Twitter is doing in their code.
See the Wufoo page on the Placeholder Attribute for more details, including how to do a javascript fallback and what browsers it is currently supported in.
See also this demo which shows how to style the ":placeholder" and ":active" states (at least for webkit and mozilla).
