[SOLVED] CB: Disallow registration field to show past value

hello

I wondering if is possible for security purpose, to set registration fields in a way who don't propose past filled value. For example if in the past I registered using email "my@email.com", the fact to simply add the character "m" inside Email field will show and propose me to enter "my@email.com".

If I'm not wrong this is not related to browser and normally something must be possible for set field and avoid this kind of proposal.

any clue ?

thank

I don't understand what you're asking. Past value suggestion? There is no such feature. What you're seeing is probably browser formfill. At this point all modern browsers have it. Navigate to your browsers privacy settings and purge formfill data.

yes...formfill is more less what I mean...but as I said if I'm not wrong this is not handled by browser but much probably by how the field itself is made/coded.

For example when I login in some website or when I must provide in a form my personnal data (name, email and more), when I start to fill data, nothing is proposed/displayed even if the same data was filled many time in the past...

Some form field propose me systematically my data and some other never... I wondering why is possible... I made some search and I found is possible to set a field with autocomplete=off... THis is supposed prevent what I mean here...

It is handled by your browser. CB has no formfill feature or anything remotely close to such a feature.

CB doesn't set autocomplete, because it wasn't a valid HTML variable until HTML5 and won't pass HTML validation on anything except latest browser releases. It also doesn't have to be respected, but is a suggestion to the browser. The formfill data is stored to your browser though, has nothing to do with CB or Joomla so it doesn't really do any harm.

ok but for example every month I login in my Bank account for make my payment and I must introduce my account number in a text field. This number is never displayed/proposed/prefilled even if is always the same. I use this system since many years when HTML5 was not-existent with old browser..

Maybe this is done with javascript ?

I any case I understand actually CB don't have such feature... Hope something can be implemented in some future release..

Browsers don't formfill every input. Only those it's designed to recognize and usually only if you tell it to. Again, autocomplete is not a valid HTML element attribute. It wasn't valid until HTML5, which wasn't until very recently has it become the standard and is still barely supported in IE (so won't validate in some browsers, which isn't good). It doesn't matter if it worked prior to HTML5, because it didn't validate. It's important for a website to pass W3C validation. The formfill is your browser; turn it off in your browser if you don't want it. Many people do use it as it helps complete common form elements quickly such as Usernames and Email Addresses. With that said I see no reason CB 2.0 won't support it as layouts and design should become much easier to modify with CB 2.0.
