Can you turn off auto-complete for just one website?

Question

I need to keep autocomplete for some sites but turn it off for others. (For those who don't know: autocomplete means when you click on a blank box and it brings up all the things you've typed in that box in the past) Anyone know a way of doing this pleeeeez? Big hugs in advance!

Answer 1

As far as I know the AutoComplete function is an "all or nothing" kind of tool.  If you click start > control panel > double click internet options you'll be presented with the internet properties dialog box.  Click on the content tab and then the autocomplete button. You'll see several check boxes that basically perform an on/off function.  Either you have autocomplete enabled or you don't.

My suggestion is if you go to a specific website where you don;t want the autocomplete function enabled you'd have to go to the internet properties dialog box before accessing that website to turn autocomplete off.  When you're finished with that website you'd have to turn it back on.

The above info pertains to Internet Explorer. If you're using Firefox 2 or 3, you'd click on tools > options > privacy.  In the history section you'd uncheck  "remember what I enter..."  Again, the check box is an on/off option.
