how to prevent browser's autocomplete?

Question

I've implemeted jquery datepicker on a textbox and datepicker is poping up with browser's default autocomplete that's confusing for the usera. I've tried autocomplete="off" but it's not working.

Please post your code so we can see what you have. – freginold Nov 10 '16 at 18:46 — freginold, Nov 10 '16 at 18:46

In the HTML for the textbox element, add autocomplete=off

I think this solution is for Firefox, it ain't working with chrome. – TheTom Nov 10 '16 at 18:14
Sadly in my case it's not even working with firefox. – TheTom Nov 10 '16 at 18:15
This is a standard part of the HTML5 specification. It will work in any browser that supports that specification. It does work in Chrome 17+ and FF 4+ – Scott Marcus Nov 10 '16 at 18:15
