How to block Chrome from auto-filling text boxes?

Question

I'm testing my website on Google Chrome and saw that this browser always auto-fills my username and password text boxes, even if I never said to do that. I don't want this behavior. Is there any way to stop this using PHP, CSS or JavaScript?

You can specify autocomplete="off" on the fields you don't want auto-filled, but honoring that is up to the browser and isn't supported everywhere:

<input type="text" name="something" autocomplete="off" />

Fyi, this is a non-standard attribute. It works, but non-standard...not that it really matters. – Kris Jan 25 '11 at 18:18

No, this is a browser feature and you should be able to turn it off.

You can set

<form name="form1" autocomplete="off" action=""></form>

This applies for all form elements
