autocomplete = 'off' is not working on firefox

Question

I created 2 login pages of same domain.

1. www.example.com/login.cfm
2. www.example.com/newLogin.cfm

I put the form name different for 2 forms

Answer 1

I was encountered this issue for a long time. Firefox was kept input values even page reload. Setting autocomplete attribute to off did not solve.

Form caching is a really useful mechanism for the user experience. But, in the small percentage of use-cases like translating values of textboxes or texareas to other language, these gave me headache.

To resolve this, just simply reset the form after page was loaded as

 $('form').trigger("reset");
