  • @Lix - thanks for the quick reply and for you suggestion. Are there any tools to check if the form caching is off? – Ajay.Bommasani Oct 03 '13 at 07:34
  • You could just test this on a few browsers that are known to implement autocomplete. Chrome and FireFox both implement this feature. – Lix Oct 03 '13 at 07:36

  • @lix - if i use autocomplete="off" for form caching, the what is the use of meta tags pragma and cache-control? – Ajay.Bommasani Oct 03 '13 at 07:40
  • That is for [caching of other HTTP resources](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/HTTP_Caching_FAQ) – Lix Oct 03 '13 at 07:41
