Input fields showing wrong values after refresh 06 Jun 2012 07:52 #2488

Hi Admin,
when I fill a form and I refresh the page, I see the values of the input field are still there even if the real values of the input fields could be different.
This is due to the browser. The browser shows what it is the last value set in the input field, and it doesn't consider what the HTML contains.

solutions:
1) use the attribute autocomplete="off" in the input fields
2) set cookies for the input fields
3) use some javascript to check the real value of the input fields and what it is shown to the user.

I simply solved it adding the:

autocomplete="off"

to the attribute of the form

It's not the best solution, but it's easy and clean and it's better than have wrong values showing in the form.

Hi Jocelyn,

I had to ask (because I know everyone is dying to ask)... Do you have an approximate ETA for 2.0? :)

Thank you,

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
