If at all, possible - thanks.

Use autocomplete="off" as in Google homepage

That's a feature of the browser, not of your HTML. If you want your browser to stop doing that, turn off "Auto Suggest" or "Auto Complete" or whatever the feature is called in your particular browser.

I think that's a function of the browser, and the way to turn it off would vary. It's not something I think you'd be able to do in code, though.

I just checked IE8 and you can go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Content, click the Settings button under AutoComplete, and then untick the Forms box.
