Thanks! This was exactly the thing. Just add autocomplete=off to the form field, and it doesn't get stored by the browser.
The really sad thing is this: I use MS Outlook's task list to list all the things I need to do in an application, so that the little things that slip through the cracks of my brain have a safety net. I went there just now to add a task about adding autocomplete=off to sensitive form fields. Not only did I find that such a task already existed, but the note in the task referred to the CF-talk thread that you just had me search for! O tired brain! :) Matthieu -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 3:48 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Explorer password saving feature >Hello.

Search the archives for this topic, as it was just discussed and I can't find the exact thread right now. For browsers that don't have the autocomplete feature, the attribute will just be ignored while parsing.
