Rails spinoffs - May 2006 - autocompleter competing with saved form data in firefox

Hi all,

I have used the sciptaculous Ajax autocompleter a few times now.  A
major problem I have at the moment is with a text field that has focus
when a page loads.  The text field has an autocompleter associated with
it, but when the user starts typing, the firefox saved form data
autocompleter appears first, and the scriptaculous one is partially
hidden behind it.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Any suggestions on how to stop firefox from suggesting values that have
previously been entered into this field?

You can do it by:
<input autocomplete="off"

Hope it is what you are looking for.
