How to turn off html input form field suggestions?

Question

By suggestions I mean the drop down menu appear when you start typing, and it\'s suggestions are based on what you\'ve typed before:

for example when I type \'a

Answer 1

I had similar issue but I eventually end up doing

<input id="inp1" autocomplete="off" maxlength="1" /> i.e., autocomplete = 'off' and suggestions will be disappeared.

Answer 2

I ended up changing the input field to

<textarea style="resize:none;"></textarea>

You'll never get autocomplete for textareas.
