[jQuery] Internet Explorer Caching Form Values on Page Refresh
I am the author of a plugin which places example text in form inputs
that disappears on user focus (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/
example). I recently received a bug report describing the fact that
refreshing a form in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 will reload input
values without re-applying any CSS classes (which my plugin relies
upon).
This behaviour exists in other browsers such as Firefox and Safari but
is avoided by clearing such values on page unload: this method does
not work with IE, however.
Does anyone know how to prevent IE from caching a form input value? If
not, perhaps someone knows *when* IE caches such value as it seems
like it may be before unload is called.
I've tried setting autocomplete="off" dynamically but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
