Question

I have two sites, both under the same domain.
I have set autocomplete=”off” for a login field in one site (site 1), and not for another site (Site 2).

When I fill out the login field in Site 2, firefox asks me if I would like to remember them and I say yes.
I then return to Site 1 and select the down arrow in a login field that I have the autocomplete set to ‘off’. It displays the login details I saved in Site 2. I don’t want this.

Is there a way to prevent this happening?
Is the only option to set autocomplete=”off” on all relevant fields in site 2 also?

Thanks

Ok, I set the autocpomplete=”off” on Site2’s attributes, this made sure the user could not save them and they therefore never show up in site1 now…which is what I want.

Just to clarify – Setting autocomplete=”off” simply prevents the browser from saving/remembering the values you entered, it does NOT prevent fields on your getting populated with values you may have saved from another another site that has not got autocomplete implemented on its ownfields.
