How to prevent browser from caching form fields?
HtmlFormsAutocompleteBrowser CacheHtml Problem Overview
I have a textbox
in a form field that gets populated by the user. However currently (in Firefox 10) the user can navigate away from the page, then come back, and the input will be populated with its previous value. I think this creates for a confusing user experience, and would like to prevent it.
Is there a way to do this without manually resetting the value? I have tried changing the response to not cache as well as setting autocomplete='false'
with no luck.
