Answer 1

ASP.net MVC HTML Attribute: Which is having type="text" Managed by JQUERY code

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.FirstName, new {@id = "txtFirstName"})


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            try {
                $("input[type='text']").each(function () {
                    $(this).attr("autocomplete", "off-1");
                });
            }
            catch (e) { }
        });
    
    </script>

Answer 2

AFAIK, you cannot do autocomplete = off with css and it has to be a html attribute and hence there is nothing you can that would affect all Textboxes. One thing you can do is add the attribute to the form like this (it will address all textboxes in the current form)

Html.BeginForm(action,controller, FormMethod.Post, new { autocomplete="off"})

or create a custom Helper extension method that is similar to BeginForm that adds this html attribute internally.

Answer 3

@Html.TextBox("Address","",new { @class = "classname", autocomplete = "off" })
