Disable password manager from HTML?

[Bill]

Can Firefox's password manager for a page from the server? Firefox is
replacing server-provided default values for some fields with the memorized
username and password for the site. In any case, this is a "create user"
page, so memorized values have no use there. Can I put something in the
HTML headers or page to disable the password manager for that one page?

Maybe one of them would be of better use. If you don't see them,
click on Refresh

Add an autocomplete attribute to the input tag or the form tag.

<input autocomplete="off" type="text">

or

<form autocomplete="off">

I have a bookmarklet (save password) installed to overrule that. :-)

Thanks bunches, but it doesn't work. I'm guessing Firefox treats
autocomplete separate from passwords, and while this trick might turn off
autocomplete, it doesn't touch passwords.

How do I turn off usernames and passwords?

It should work. That's why the remember password bookmarklet exists. :-)
Post the URL, so we can check it out.
