There is some good information about disabling auto-fill here http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar/thread?tid=7dcddc95f43dac19&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar/thread?tid=7dcddc95f43dac19&hl=en
But the quick and dirty explanation is that the google toolbar looks for specific text to decide what it is going to autofill. In fact, if there is just the text "Name:" or "First Name:" NEAR an input field, google toolbar will hook into it. I've been researching this problem for a while and it's really insidious. Anyhow we resolved our problem by breaking up this 'nearby' text with a span. (ie. We were having problems autocompleting a name field because the text describing the field had "Name" in it. We broke up the Name text with a span like Na<span>me</span>, and that seemed to fix the google toolbar interference) jjh-3 wrote: > > > I have been on this issue for the past 24hrs and I can't seem to find > the solution.
