How does autocomplete work in form elements?

[kaled]

I'll be doing some form design work shortly. I've never studied how auto-complete works but I figure there must be standard names for input elements. In that case, I guess I need to know what the standard names are e.g. ADDRESS_1

A quick search on Google tells me I can set the <input> attribute autocomplete="off" but I didn't find anything else useful.

Any help on this subject will be most welcome.

Thanks,

Kaled.

Thanks, I've bookmarked it.

It's not quite how I imagined it it would work (but I normally have it disabled anyway).

Is this a "standard" FireFox and Opera adhere to?
