Autocomplete Off - chrome ignores - set as optional parameter #826

Even with Autocomplete-"off" chrome still fills in its own suggestion. Its best to fill in a random value, or allow it to be filled in as an option when initialized.

The goal of setting autocomplete="off" is only to prevent showing native autocomplete dropdown and not prevent to be filled.

You are free to set other value for this field after autocomplete has been initialized.

autocomplete="off" doesn't even seem to be preventing chrome from showing the native autocomplete frustratingly.
