<input autocomplete='on'> does not work with Chrome. Is it a bug?

Question

I was struggling for a while on the html5 autocomplete feature of Chrome. I had a form like this

Answer 1

Please provide ID to your input variable

<form method='post' action='myaction'>
 <input name='myname' type='email' id="myname" autocomplete='on' />
 <input type='submit' value='Submit!' onclick='transform_data();'/>
</form>

Then it should work, without id it wont work

Answer 2

Chrome will only save the autocomplete information on submit. There are some workarounds detailed here: Trigger autocomplete without submitting a form
