I have created a form, which on submit does a ajax call for the submission. It is not a standard form submit. How can I make browser remember form data(not just username and password) for autocomplete?

I think it remembers them as long as the submit event is fired. Are you using the submit event to event.preventDefault() and send your form otherwise?

I am not firing the submit event. I am making ajax call for submission. It is not a standard form submit.

I understand that, but you can fire the submit event, call event.preventDefault() and submit it using AJAX instead. The form will not be submitted through the standard HTML mechanism this way, but you might get autofill.

I did tried that also but it is not working.

Anyway, I do not think this is appropriate for chromium-html5. chromium-discuss might be more helpful.
