To disable the autocomplete feature on web forms, is it possible to put an autocomplete="off" directive into the httpd.conf file?
Many thanks. |

You need to put autocomplete="off" inside the input element in form in html code, not in httpd.conf.
For example | Code: | | <input name="xxxx" id="yyy" type="text" size="10" value="myvalue" autocomplete="off"> |

Thank you, Timo. The obvious answer would be to do as you say, but it has been suggested to me that I could put an "autocomplete" directive into the httpd.conf file. My research so far indicates that this is not possible -- unless there is some module that provides this functionality.
Best regards,
Alex |

It could be put in the conf or in .htaccess using the Substitute directive (mod_substitute) which would add it to every form on the site.
| Code: | AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
Substitute "s|<form|<form autocomplete=\"off\"|i" |
or to turn existing on's to off
| Code: | Substitute "s|autocomplete=\"on\"|autocomplete=\"off\"|qi"
