I am creating a website. It requires users to login.

When I click on the Username text box, as soon as I enter the first letter of the name it turns into a drop down list displaying every name ever entered, that starts with that letter!

I have found a lot of articles on how to accomplish this, but none how to PREVENT this from happening.

I want the text box to act like a text box.

I am using .Net version 4.62

If you know how to stop this from happening, and can reply with the answer, I will be forever grateful.

What I have tried:

I have tried replacing the text box with another, and it does the same thing!

That is the default behavior of textboxes.

Solution 1

~~Add the autocomplete="off" attribute to the tag:~~

<input type="text" autocomplete="Disabled" />

Or in ASP.NET:

<asp:TextBox id="Whatever" AutoCompleteType="Disabled" runat="Server" />

That probably won't work on login fields, with good reason:
The autocomplete attribute and login fields | MDN[^]

Whoops. That should not have said "off".

Richard Deeming 5-Mar-21 9:42am

But as the MDN link says: many modern browsers do not support autocomplete="off" for login fields. :)

This is what I get for trying to code minutes after waking up.
