What would cause Chrome autofill to stop working?

Question

I\'ve got a new site we\'re working that uses HTML5. Everything validates except for the LESS stylesheets and the Facebook tags. However, Chrome will not autofill properly.

Answer 1

Chrome will not save password or autocomplete data if a form is submitted asynchronously. For example, if you submit the following form, Chrome will prompt you to save the password:

    
    
    Sign In

However, if you bind to the submit event and override the default behavior, there will be no prompt and the autocomplete data won't be saved:

$(function(){
    $('form').submit(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize());
    });
});
