Why is Microsoft Edge autofilling disabled fields on my Webform CiviCRM?

We're struggling with a complex Webform that is auto-populating the wrong values into some text fields in Edge browser. The text fields are pulling data (phone number, email, address) from an existing Company Contact - and if those values are NULL in CiviCRM - Microsoft Edge happily populates these fields with previously seen but completely irrelevant and incorrect phone number, email and address.



We've since reproduced this on a number of sample forms.



Some illustrations - this is Chrome [Semper IT - with phone has a phone number in the CiviCRM database; Semper IT - no phone does not]. The yellow fields are the auto-fills from Chrome



enter image description here



And here's what Microsoft Edge does with this exact same form (apparently I live in Edmonton now). The blue fields are the auto-fills from Microsoft Edge. Thank you Laura for the screenshot!

  • Hi - so the problem is that last year Microsoft made a decision to ignore the autocomplete=off for its browsers.

I found the answer in a post on the Miscrosoft developer forum:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/9847360/



Some of the 'highlights':



From Microsoft:
“In IE11 and Edge, we made the decision to ignore autocomplete=off”



From a developer:
WHAT !!! ???
That’s why we are receiving so many UI complaints recently. This is a terrible decision Microsoft.
Please STOP breaking Edge by NOT supporting standard HTML correctly.
Edge should honor the autocomplete="off" tag.



And from another one:
“By Design” doesn’t mean that the functionality is correct. I’m struggling with a complex web form that is auto-populating the wrong values into some text fields in Edge browser"

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't."
