Auto Complete

In order for this to be shown you must have the "Form Autocomplete" enabled in your browser.
In the browser toolbar select;

Tools || Internet Options || Content || Autocomplete And tick "Forms" in the "Use AutoComplete for" section.

As an example type in the following words. Press Submit after entering each word.
  • Internet
  • Internal
  • Interview

Notice when you begin to type the second word the first is show in a drop down menu.

All entries in the AutoComplete list are listed by the first letter that is typed so all the "A"'s are together, the "B"'s etc.

To see a complete list double click in the textbox.

Items in the list are highlighted as you move your mouse over them.
To delete any item press the delete button whilst it is highlighted.

This works by identifying the inputs name, so if for example your inputs name was "NAME" then any form input would show the AutoComplete selection for an input name called "NAME"

This also means that a different AutoComplete selection would be shown for each different input name.

Type in some different words starting with the same letter in the box below

HTMLwise

If you'd like to shut off AutoComplete for the entire form, put the attribute in the main FORM tag, set to "off".

<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="" AUTOCOMPLETE="off">

You can also set individual form elements to "on" if you want to override the attribute in the main FORM tag. That way each of the form elements can be turned off except that one you set to "on".

<INPUT NAME="name" SIZE=40 AUTOCOMPLETE=ON>

You can also set individual form elements to "off".
