2 years ago See also the HTML 5 spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#autofill
It frames the "on"/"off" attribute values and the token values as different "mantles", or ways the attribute is used (missing from the MDN article). The specs implies a hybrid form may not work, e.g., a form element with autocomplete="on" and some child input elements specifying a token and field name values. We could test.
Update: According to this blog post on autocomplete, "[Y]ou’re either using on and off values OR you’re using autofill field names. You can’t use them at the same time."
The a11y course has a page on autocomplete, but it needs to be updated with advice re. the "on"/"off" approach: Identifying input . We could copy that form for the test.
re "obligatory on input fields" ...
Important to point out that when using tokens:
- autocomplete is limited to personal user data
- the attribute value is one or more terms from a set list. You can't customize the value.
