Make text input fields remember previously entered data

Question

My text inputs seem not to remember values that have been typed before. For example, many websites that I don\'t even have an account on, but have, for example entered my email

Answer 1

I had the same problem. For me, it was when developing in ASP.NET MVC. Anyway, the solution I had to make was a combination of things:

1. Having the name attribute defined in my input tags

2. Having autocomplete="on" in my input tags

3. Changing the button tag to be a type="submit" tag

4. Enclosing all my input controls in a <form> tag
