#26142 [Opn->Fbk]: IE's autocompletion overlaps PHP.net's

ID: 26142 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: kester dot everts at wanadoo dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Windows * PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: goba New Comment: Some mirror sites already have the new code, thanks for the suggestion, and please provide feedback on whether it is working or not (check that you test the new script by searching for setAttribute in the /functions.js source code on the mirror site you test with)... Happy new year! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-31 10:56:35] goba@php.net Sounds good, since setAttribute is in DOM Level1, and is supported since IE4, which means it is portable enough :))) I'll update the site again... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-31 10:03:45] kester dot everts at wanadoo dot nl I am sorry to say... Test resulted negative. I took a look at your script. You used Fa.autocomplete="off". I tested this. It is correct and it should work, but somehow it does not. It is a bug in MSIE, I think. There is a workaround: Use Fa.setAttribute("autocomplete","off"). I succesfully tested this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-31 06:58:42] goba@php.net I have added some more code to the JS to disable the autocomplete on the form too. Please test the new dropdown if it really disables the IE default autocomplete or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-05 13:18:37] goba@php.net Hm, we will do this with Javascript. Thanks for the tip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-05 11:05:43] kester dot everts at wanadoo dot nl Description: ------------ I am using IE6 with WinXP Pro. It also applies to all other MSIE browsers with AutoCompletion. When using the PHP.net's auto completion, which works fine btw, IE overlaps this with its own AutoCompletion (only with AutoCompletion has been switched on, of course), because I have been at this website before and have searched for functions :) It be easily solved by setting the autocompete attribute value to 'off'.
