Is there a way to output 'autocomplete="off"' in a form or inputText
element? Since IE, Firefox and Safari do not an onChange JavaScript
event if the user picks a item from the browser's autocomplete list.
This is causing a problem in my application because I am using
autosubmit=true and have a valueChangeListener on an inputText. The
valueChangeListener does not get invoked in the case where the user
chooses an item from the autocomplete list and tabs out of the control.

The behavior that I see is that value change events work fine if the
user types in a value or pastes a value in to an tr:inputText and then
tabs to another component. If the user has previously submitted a
value in the inputText and then begins typing a value that starts with
the same characters and then selects an entry in the autocomplete list
that appears and then tabs out of the component, no onChange gets
fired and as a result, no valueChangeEvent occurs on the server.
Is it possible to output a autocomplete="off" in the tr:form?
Does anyone have any idea of a workaround for this problem?
Thanks,
Richard

Yes, I realize that valueChangeEvents occur on the server. Yes,
when I tested, I tabbed out of the control in both cases. I will
check the behavior on Firefox.

onblur, so shouldn't matter how you enter the data. You did
tab off of the input text right?

Hi,
It appears that valueChangeEvents are not triggered on the
tr:inputText component when the user selects an entry
using the AutoComplete feature of Internet Explorer. I
have tested this on IE 6.0.2900.
In my JSP file I have this:
<tr:inputText label="Enter Value:"
valueChangeListener="#{myBacking.inputTextChangeListener}"
autoSubmit="true" value="#{myBacking.textValue}"/>
I am getting valueChangeEvents when the user types a value
in the textInput but I do not get an event if I select the
value from the autocomplete box that IE presents if values
have been entered previously into the field. Is there a
way to output autocomplete="off" in the rendered output
for the tag or is there a fix to the javascript that
detects the value change?
Thanks,
Richard
