Autocomplete Bug

Stephane,

Try using xxforms:autocomplete="off" on xforms:input.

I believe that the original issue related to xforms:input with appearance="xxforms:autocomplete" and selection="open". Is that what you are getting, or is this a separate problem?

This topic figured it out for me : http://www.nabble.com/autocompletion-bug-tf4308727.html#a12266021

In my submission, it would work under Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer but not under Firefox! What really drove me nuts is that some rare times, it would work with Firefox too!

The secret is the autocomplete Firefox does for forms, as stupid as this! Apparently, the instance is not correctly updated when one uses what Firefox suggests! Here is an example. As a username, I put "Steph", but I write every letter, one by one. My submission will work fine. Let's start over and just write the frist letter "s", Firefox will then suggestion "Steph" because it saved it from previous input. But if I select what Firefox suggests, my instance will only have the letter s !!!!! And that's why it wouldn't work!

Now apparently this bug (August) still exist in Orbeon. So my next goal was to disactivate this autocompletion. In HTML, one would put : autocomplete="off". So I did the same in my xform but that wouldn't work. In the final source page, I wouldn't see the attribute autocomplete.

This is the line where I would like to have my attribute autocomplete :

<input type="text" class="xforms-input-input" value="" name="xforms-element-6" id="input-xforms-element-6"/>

I tried with some javascript to getElementById('input-xforms-element-6') and set an attribute to autocomplete to off, but that wouldn't work.

Can someone help me ? I don't want to disactivate this property of Firefox because their will be many users... I have to find out how to put this attribute in that input! Thanks!

Hi Erik,

Yes this was what I was looking for. Now Firefox doesn't propose anything when one enters the first letters of a word. Maybe I didn't express myself correctly : this has nothing to do with appearance="xxforms:autocomplete" because I don't use it.

In any form on the web, when you enter your first name, Erik, the first time you will have to write the four letters. But if you have to enter it another time, on another page, 5 days later, when you will enter the letter "E", Firefox will propose the word Erik to gain you some time! Well if you use this feature, the instance is not updated, and for me, it's clearly a bug of OPS. It would be nice if it was corrected because I believe it isn't to difficult (after what Alex said).

Hi,

I just wanted to add, that it sometimes could be very useful to be able to use Firefox's auto-complete. And for us, there have been numerous issues, when user enters his username and password (actually selects username from Firefox's suggestions) and our Orbeon based system responds with - "incorrect username!" just because of this bug (referenced instance element is empty). And we have to tell our users to turn off Firefox's auto-complete in Tools > Options > Privacy > Remember what I type in forms and search bar, that's because we know the cause. I wanted to create a repeatable example of this, but I could not find how to make Firefox consistently suggest entered values. We believe it looks for a consistent ID attribute on the input control.
