Avoiding google toolbar's autofill (ie6).

how about uninstalling the google toolbar? It's spyware anyway.

Don't use a dark background and white text in the input field?

On your google toolbar(Or on mine, at the least) there is a drop down menu called 'Settings'. In settings, select options, and on the main page('Features' tab) de-select the AutoFill checkbox.
I normally just ignore it myself, but haven't actually disabled it.

@capn_midnight: I use google toolbar for the nice spellchecker, the searchbox, and my personal quick buttons.(GDnet, Wikipedia, Ihop, Amazon.com) I just ignore all of the info collecting features; not because I'm paranoid or anything, but because Google is trying to kill me. Still, the spellchecker is worth the risk.

Uhh....

Are you using IE or something? An OLD version of IE? Most of those features can be implemented in any browser either by default or with plugins.

I actually have two text inputs, one of which does not get picked up by the toolbar. Is there something I can do to avoid the toolbar recognizing the first field?

So the choice comes down between one (or maybe two) small flaws in your ideal theme, or the ability of other users to use your site, and you're choosing what you think looks better over what is more functional?

Well, I'd like to think those aren't my only two choices.

I'm trying to make google toolbar ignore the first text field. It already ignores the second, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to make it ignore the first as well.

If you designed websites to be compatible with every 3rd party plugin they would look like sites from ~1994... and even that would break some plugins probably...

Yeah, I guess I'll have to live with this.

I hate to ask another question... but why am I getting this error after adding a call to trim()!?


Fatal error: Call to undefined function trim() in...

edit: I don't know... it worked if I wasn't assigning the returned value to anything. Then I started assigning it again and it worked.
