I would like to see browser provided normal autocomplete feature in text-boxes drawn in jQuery-Mobile we applications. I ensured type=”text” is given. Here are the input box drawn on browser:-
<fieldset>
<div class="editor-field">
<input id="scanInfo2" name="BarCodeValue" type="text" value="" />
</div>
</fieldset>
I would like to see similar autocomplete which we find in email boxes of email sign-in pages.
I realized that browser’s default textbox autocomplete feature kicks-in only if text box is part of
<form>tag. I re-implemented my screen as having form and textboxes as part of it. It is working fine now on Android browsers.(but iPhone/IPod) browsers are still not showing autocomplete which I think a problem for some other day.
