copied!<p>Judging from this <a href="http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar/thread?tid=7dcddc95f43dac19&hl=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">google toolbar support thread</a>, it seems autofill is not only a huge PITA for developers, but also very difficult to turn off. As of Aug 09 google claims it will honor the <code>autocomplete="off"</code> attribute on the containing <code>form</code> but as of today this feature does not seem to be released yet.</p> <p>You used to be able to give your input elements non-sensical names (eg <code>name="xx_Address_32423423"</code>) to confuse autofill (and thereby effectively disable it), but they've made autofill more "intelligent" by looking at <em>substrings</em> within your element names in order to determine if the field can be autofilled or not (again, judging from complaints in that thread).</p> <p>In your case, you may as well roll with the punches and find an equivalent for <code>onpropertychange</code> for Firefox. Have a look at the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-eventgroupings-mutationevents" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>DOMAttrModified</code> event</a>. Specifially, try checking the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-MutationEvent" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>event.attrName</code> property</a> to see if the <code>value</code> has been changed by autofill:</p> <pre><code>function realOnChange(event) { var attrName = event.propertyName || event.attrName; if(attrName === 'value') { // etc } } </code></pre> <p>The check for <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536956(VS.85,loband).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>event.propertyName</code></a> is to stay compatible with your current <code>onpropertychange</code> implementation (if that is even possible).</p>
