Q1638 How can I disable the Internet Explorer auto complete form field feature?

Simply include an autocomplete attribute as follows:

<form name="myForm">
<input type="password" name="myField" autocomplete="off">
</form>

You may also be able to programmatically change this using the following:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.myForm.myField.setAttribute('autocomplete','on')
//--></script>
