How to exit the autocomplete mode

[Vladimir]

I have a text box and two buttons on an HTML page:

 

<form>

<input type="text" id="inp" />

<input type="button" value="clear text" onclick="inp.value = ''; inp.focus();" />

<input type="submit" value="submit" />

</form>

 

When an end-user selects one of autocomplete items, the text box background color becomes yellow (it's ok). As you can see, there is the 'clear text' button. If an end-user clicks it, the text box text is removed. However, the editor is still in autocomplete mode (its background is still yellow). I have attached a full HTML page for testing and a video that demonstrates this behavior.

 

Would you please clarify how to end this mode using JavaScript (as soon as the ‘clear text’ button is clicked)?

 

I need neither to totally disable the autocomplete mode nor to change the text box back color. I need to exit the autocomplete mode when the button has been clicked. In other words, the ‘inp’ HTML input should not have the ‘-webkit-autofill’ pseudo class.

Thanks.

This looks like a bug (so you cannot really prevent that from happening).

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
