RE: [PEAR] Form fields remembering previous values

Hi, Ah, crafty idea :) As a side effect I found an Internet Explorer specific feature in the <form> tag. Just add an attribute autocomplete="off" when your defining the form $form = new HTML_QuickForm('RegisterStep1', 'get', 'step2.php', '', array('autocomplete' => 'off')); Regards, Mike C. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Hutton [mailto:rob.hutton@comcast.net] > Sent: 09 September 2003 15:51 > To: mikeatwork@ukonline.co.uk; 'Graham Clarke'; 'PEAR General' > Subject: RE: [PEAR] Form fields remembering previous values > > > I think if you append a md5(rand()) to the URL as a > parameter, then it sees the URLs as different.
