Is there a way to tell Firefox not to remember the state of my input fields on page refresh?

Question

Firefox has a very annoying feature. It remembers the state of input fields when you hit F5. It\'s not just the value, it remembers even whether the input is disabled or not.

Answer 1

try this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript: $('input').attr('disabled', true); return false; " >Disable text box</a>

Answer 2

Based on the scripting language you are using, you may try to disable caching.

Answer 3

You can set the element or the form to autocomplete="off" to disable state preservation, but that also disables input autocomplete, of course.

Answer 4

I do think all browsers have that feature.

But to reset your input to its original value, try this.

$('document').ready(function(){//or whenever you want to fire back to the default value
    $('input#withanidplease').val($('input#withanidplease').prop('defaultValue'))
})
