Fine, you have a right to that opinion. :)

Nor does it make sense to autofill a lot of stuff with your own login data,
but if you enable autocomplete in the browser, it will none-the-less happen.

> Looks like autocomplete="off" should do it. Thanks,

Note that it isn't xhtml compliant, which is one of the big reasons it isn't
in the code.

The simpler way to stop it from autofilling for that one form would be to
change the form field names to something which won't autofill (and note in
comments why there are named that way).  This not only solves the problem,
but does it in a fully compliant and more fool-proof manor.
