Is there any way to turn off autocomplete on a page, and insert the a list of records

I want to stop IE from using autocomplete on my application, and all the user to

start typing in a record number and then scroll through the records starting with the numbers the user entered into the text box. Or should I create a drop-down list.

I would go for a handy combination of a Text field, a Select field, and some JavaScript.

 

Every time the user types in a value in the textbox, loop through each item in the Select field and see if it begins with what the user types in. If it does, select that item by setting the selectedIndex property of the select field.

 

Oh, and as far as I know, AutoComplete is a client setting, and probably cannot be disabled for a specific page.
