Edit box autofill does not clear placeholder

Basic HTML PHP CSS. I have an edit box with a placeholder. In the case that I have edited the fields once before (like username and password), and the browser has cached them, and I return to the form again (e.g., the login page), both the placeholder text and the auto filled values are appearing over top of each other. This is using the osclass code, if that matters. Clicking in the edit box removes the placeholder text, and the auto-filled value remains.

Thanks for the help!

placeholder text and edit text both appearing

Solution

  • You should turn the autocomplete off in your code

    i.e., 

    <input id="email" type="text" name="email" value="" class="input-text" autocomplete="off">
<input id="password" type="password" name="password" value="" class="input-text" autocomplete="off">
