Safari disable form autocomplete

[al404]

I have an issue with safari, on a form it autocomplete email field even if it is already filled with a different email
For autocomplete i mean when background field color change to yellow

I'm not sure why it does it since field is not even empty

Yeah, unfortunately Safari does this. Most of the time it's ok with me, but there are a few sites where this behavior royally messes me up and I have to turn off autocomplete for usernames and passwords or for Contact info.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking if it's possible to code the input form in a way so that Safari will not attempt to autocomplete it? Or do you mean is there some way to suppress it momentarily without changing your preferences?

Apparently, the answer is "No, but there are hacky tricks you can try."

Safari > Preferences > Autofill > Uncheck them all

I use <input ... autocomplete='false'> on each input field, seems to work for most browsers.

<input ... autocomplete='off'>

Oops! I was just plain wrong, should not be 'false', should be 'off'. I believe I used false to try to get Safari to work in the past and maybe it worked?

There were issues with Safari in the past, maybe that is why I tried 'false'.

The reason why he has this issue is because Safari doesn't honor the autocomplete attribute. Actually, most of the browsers stopped honoring it. See the Stack Overflow link I posted earlier.
