Stopping Autocomplete from browers?

How do you disable browser Autocomplete on web form field / input tag?

I have implemented my own autocomplete via jQuery but the browser covers up the first option with its own autocomplete info? Is there a way to turn off this field's autocomplete from the server side?

@OTZ: amusingly, that edit was already made... and then rolled back. — Shog9, Sep 01 '10 at 21:23

Use

autocomplete="off"

in your INPUT tag.

Possibly because it's an exact duplicate. I've corrected it though. – Jouke van der Maas Sep 01 '10 at 22:40
