Hi, Thanks for you reply, It;s about HTML, I used this code autocomplete='off' in form tag, also I use some jquery codes

<form name="userregistration" method="POST" AUTOCOMPLETE="off" > and Jquery

$('#ajaxusername').attr('autocomplete','off'); $('.autoDisable').attr('autocomplete','off'); JS document.getElementById("ajaxusername").autocomplete="off".

Pls check the attachment.

Thanks...

Did you check via the right-click context menu in the Inspector that the autocomplete=off attribute is present and that all fields are within the form?

Did you try to clear the entries in case those were saved when the form didn't have the autocomplete attribute?

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:

  1. click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
  2. highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
    do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
  3. press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

If autocomplete data already previously has been saved in Firefox then adding autocomplete=off won't have effect since this data is already stored and you need to remove this manually via (Shift+) Delete. If you are experimenting with code then you need to take this into account and possibly use forget about this site.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
