I'm working on an Android app (2.3.3) using Cordova (1.9.0), html5, javascript.
It's a language training tool so when users type their answers in textareas or inputfields, I don't want them to see suggestions.
I've tried autocomplete="off" in the textarea and input tag as well as in the form tag, but neither work. Does anyone know how to turn these suggestions off?
my test-html looks like this:
<div><b>With form:</b>
<form autocomplete="off">
<p>Wie <input size="5" value="b" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="false"> jij?</p>
<textarea spellcheck="false" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off"></textarea>
</form>
</div>
<div><b>No form:</b>
<p>Jan, ik <input size="5" value="b" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="false"> Jan.</p>
<textarea spellcheck="false" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off"></textarea>
</div>
Update: I created a html-testpage and browsed there using an Android-phone, still experiencing the same autocompletion/suggestion-issue. So perhaps this is not a Cordova-app issue, but an Android browser issue? Take a look (on an Android phone) http://jsfiddle.net/f3AJq/
