Chrome Ignoring autocomplete='off' - google-chrome

Question

I've created a web FROM but Chrome autocomplete is populating the info in the wrong places. Chrome (Version 41.0.2272.89 (64-bit))
Despite both the input field AND the form field having the autocomplete="off" attribute, Chrome insists on showing a drop down history of previous entries for the field.
Sample From
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/something" autocomplete="off" id="something_form" method="post">
<div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline">
<input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓" />
<input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="xxxxxxxxxxxx" />
</div>
<div class="form-group no-padding col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12">
<label class="control-label col-xs-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-lg-4 no-padding text-right" for="from-course-name">
Name:
</label>
<div class="controls col-xs-8 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-lg-8 no-padding">
<div class="input-append">
<input id="from-name" inlineeditable-column="0" type="text" name="o_name" class="form-control custom-form_control required sensitive long " autocomplete="off" >
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>

Answer 1

On the input fields that you want to stop from auto complete this will work. Make the fields read only and on focus remove that attribute like this
<input readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" onblur="this.setAttribute('readonly');" id="from-name" type="text" name="o_name" class="form-control custom-form_control required ">

Answer 2

In Chrome autocomplete="off" only works for fields other then password, email, username, mobile, zipcode, city, ...
If the field's name or id is like id="blabla-password" or name"email-blabla" or id="bla-username-bla" etc... then you have to use the following
id="bla-bla-some-password" autocomplete="new-password"
id="bla-email-bla" autocomplete="new-email"
id="some-username-id" autocomplete="new-username"
name="bla-password" autocomplete="new-password"
name="bla-email-bla" autocomplete="new-email"
name="some-username-id" autocomplete="new-username"
...city autocomplete="nope"
...zipcode autocomplete="nope"
...mobile autocomplete="nope"
...
For all the other fields keep using autocomplete="off" !
It is still the best result
id="description" autocomplete="off"
id="date" autocomplete="off"
id="some-text" autocomplete="off"
...
And so on

Chrome has been ignoring autocomplete="off" for a while now, you have to trick chrome by doing the following: 1. Set the input type to text, and 2. reset the input type when on focus event is triggered
<input type="text" id="password" autocomplete="off" name="password">
$('#password').on('focus', function(){
$('#password').attr('type', 'password');
});
Reset done using Jquery
