Question

I have a Date Input text box generated by jquery Date Picker which is only meant to display dates from the current date.

However if a user has used the form previously, he is able to choose previous dates generating from which on double clicking displays a choice of dates from his browser cache.

This would help a user book dates that are prior to current dates. I am solving it using a sever side check. However is there a way I can prevent this. I tried preventing double clicks based on all suggestions in this link, but no avail

Answer 1

Try adding autocomplete="off" to your <input> element. This will prevent the browser from showing previously entered values.

You should also validate the date server side to ensure nothing slips through the client side net.
