);

Remarks

Use this method to store input type=text and input type=password values to AutoComplete data storage. After information is entered in a form and saved to AutoComplete storage, whenever a user visits a Web site and starts typing in a field with the same name as a stored field, the AUTOCOMPLETE attribute provides an AutoComplete box containing a list of previously stored data.

To enable the AutoComplete feature for forms, choose Internet Options from the Tools menu, click Content , and then click AutoComplete . To disable the feature for individual form controls and entire forms, use the AUTOCOMPLETE attribute.

This method is included in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later. It is not supported in HTML Applications (HTAs).
