You can use autocomplete="off"; you don't have to use css for this.

 <textarea placeholder = "Send your concern..." id = "concern" autocomplete="off"></textarea>

I have to reload the page for the text not to be shown, can it just automatically be always turned off, I tried what you suggested me to do. – Benjamin Sloutsky May 18 '20 at 04:56

Hmmmm strange, there is no need to refresh the page for this, it automatically starts implementing..... can you clear cache of the browser and try once? also remove the jquery code when you try. – Manjuboyz May 18 '20 at 04:58
I did, and it doesnt really work, I also remove jquery stuff – Benjamin Sloutsky May 18 '20 at 05:03

I am on google, , I tried it and it didnt really work – Benjamin Sloutsky May 18 '20 at 05:09
it should be `autocomplete="false"` same goes with `autocomplete="off"` there is not semicolon after `false` or `off`, I added wrong text in my previous comment! – Manjuboyz May 18 '20 at 05:12
Is this correct? – Benjamin Sloutsky May 18 '20 at 05:16
