Security Issue

my browser doesn't stop remebering ....

[fashezee]

I am setting up an ecommerce site. I realized that when I enter my credit card number, my browser
displays a drop down menu which shows the previous credit card numbers I entered. How can I
prevent my browser to remember and display sensitive information. I would like that feature (auto remember)
to be only available on certain input fields such as phone number, postal code ...etc..............

How can I do this ???

What browser do you use?

In IE, goto tools, internet options, content and click on auto complete. There you can turn this feature on or off.

fashezee,

I'm no expert, but which browser are you using? - That's important to get a good answer.

BTW, On or OFF are your only choices.

It would be nice if the auto complete could be customized (hint for Mr Gates) but it can't be at this time.

I was thinking more on the lines of adding an attribute to the input tag that would not allow any browser
to auto remember certain input fields. I'm using IE 5.0, and I am aware there is an option that disables
that feature. I just felt that some users that have that feature active would feel uncomfortable seeing
the CC number appearing .....

The Goodman JavaScript Bible has a section on capturing keystrokes in javascript (window.event I think). Not sure exactly how the interface should look, maybe you could make a fake text box in photoshop, wrap that in an <a> tag, then have the onFocus event fire-up the keyboard capturer script. You could then pipe their input back to the screen (maybe to a layer floating atop the fake impage and also to a hidden form field?). Or possibly instead of a fake text box, yank it out of a real one as each character is typed? This is all getting a bit involved I'm afraid........

fashezee,

It seems that I mis-understood your question ...... lol

fashezee,

Hope this helps. Never used it before so I don't know how browsers other than Internet Explorer will react to it. My guess is that most of them will ignore it.

<input type="foobar" name="foo" autocomplete="off">
