How do you disable browser Autocomplete on web form field / input tag?
Is there a W3C valid way to disable autocomplete in a HTML form?
My browser automatically fills the register form in my website, which is supposed to be anonymous so it's not a very good sign to users to see their names already on the form.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I could take the input box and simply erase it with javascript but I wanted to know if there was another way round. Thanks
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" />
That should work.

What is the purpose of the html form tag
(4 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am trying to design an application that takes several settings into consideration when processing (scale, height, base-height, etc.). I'm learning HTML, and from looking into it, I can take in user text input through a form. However, I think that I can pull the text from a textarea. What are the benefits of using the form as opposed to manually processing with a textarea?
In short, the <form></form> tag encapsulates the inputs needed for submitting specific information via a specific method/action without needing to define the collection if inputs/selects/textareas with Javascript.
With this ability, you can have a search feature, billing form and zip code locator - for examples - on the same page. The "submit" for that form must be inside the form tags.

Multiple form ID's in HTML5's input form attribute
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a textarea similar to
<textarea name="mytextarea" form="form1 form2"></textarea>
When inspecting the element and viewing node attributes, it shows the form as null. This is in chrome.
Inputs can have multiple form attributes, but can textareas?
It's different from the other question because it pertains to text areas, not other inputs. Though, the result may ultimately be the same.
I received my initial apparently incorrect information from this:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_textarea.asp
See form on that page. Either way. This can stay closed. It is obviously not implemented in the browsers or ever specified in the spec.
Thanks all.
As this answer states, nowhere on the W3C Spec is stated that the form owner of an element can be a list of IDs. If for some reason, that is working for you, you're still not conforming to standards.
I suggest using jQuery if you want to submit multiple forms at the same time, or duplicate the value of input elements across different forms on submission.

Are there browsers that don't support maxlength?
(6 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
We have a web site with a text field as , it works most of the time, but there are few cases which users are able to send data more than 20 chars to the backend, which causes some error.
I knew the validation should be done at server side, but can anyone tell how can this happen? I don't think the user(s) are using bots or firebug or scripts to manipulate the input html.
I tested most of the desktop broswer, the maxlenth works for all.
so the question is any mobile browser not support MaxLength attriute for input text field?
You have a good chance that are browser bots
that make GET, POST request depending on your
code. MaxLength is supported by all browsers, however
beware! It is not supported by all browsers for textarea. Cheers.

How to disable a link using only CSS
(25 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Is there anyway to inhibit the click handler on a tags in HTML without the help of jQuery/Javascript?
disabled only works on button and input, but I've chosen to use a tags in my code. I suppose I can use span and simulate the exact a styles I currently have, but it would be nice if there's a simple way around this.
Thanks in advance.
Use # as href or omit the href. The link won't work anymore. As cocco noted, setting href to # has the disadvantage, that the history gets messed up and the browser jumps back to the top of the page. Nevertheless, the value # has been used on numerous pages.
Disabling the onClick is not possible, but you can use onclick="return false". This way nothing happens on click.
There is also a partial solution using css (described in this already answered question).
there are many ways to do that..
1.simplest:
a.onclick=function(){
return false
}
2.standard/modern:
a.addEventListener('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault()
},false)
example with class=active to activate the link.
http://jsfiddle.net/y7vVq/
onclick="return false"
This is the simple way to disable click in a tag

Default html form focus without JavaScript
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Is there a way to set the focus in a specific HTML input (a textarea control, actually), without using Javascript?
EDIT: Is possible in HTML5 but the question is about HTML < 5
You can use autofocus in HTML5 documents, but it has little support at present (see chart).
Nope. Sadly JavaScript is required, because it's dynamically modifying the browser on the client-side (what JavaScript was made for).
I don't know of any, other than tabbing to the field or clicking within it.
It depends on how and when you want to set the focus on this textarea. "tabindex" might help you.
