Remove autocomplete from a text box

[Joe Maravillas]

Hello,

I didn't find this in searching through the autocomplete topics. Is there a programmatic way to remove autocomplete from a text box?

I'm trying to handle case where a form changes based on selections in a dropdown and autocomplete is not necessary for some selections.

Thanks!
Joe

I accomplished what I needed by removing the div with the 'pac-container' class on it when the dropdown value changed.

Something like this:

function dropdown_changed() {
  var val = $('#dropdown').val();

  // make sure autocomplete is set on the necessary fields
  autocomplete_init();

  if (val == 'foo')  {
    // do some stuff
    $('#div1 > .pac-container').remove();
  else if (val == 'bar') {
    // do some stuff
    $('#div2 > .pac-container').remove();
  else {
    // do something else
  }
}

This will probably break in the future. Instead I have filed a bug internally to add a remove/detach method to the autocomplete.
