Spring Form, commandName and autocomplete="off"

Question

I want to have the autocomplete="off" attribute on a form. I need it on the form because Firefox ignores it on the individual input elements.

The spring form tag does not support autocomplete and barfs if I try to add it.

If I don't use the spring form I am unable to set the commandName attribute.

Can anyone think of a way to get both autocomplete and commandName working together?

Cheers, Peter

Answer 1

The spring form:input and form:password tags do support autocomplete. And they work just fine. Here is the Spring form tld reference.

Answer 2

You have at least 3 choices:

• extend the original form tag by your own implementation
• use the bind tag instead of the form tag, then you can write the html form tag like you wast: see http://jroller.com/habuma/entry/spring_form_tags
• add the attribute by java script. for example the dojo framework willl help you
