How to disable text auto correction in iPhone web app

Posted on March 5, 2010March 5, 2010 by eisabai

To turn off iPhone auto correction feature (predictive dictionary) on textboxes, add autocorrect="off" attribute to your input tag.

<input type="text" id="keyword" name="keyword" 
autocorrect="off" />

You can also turn off auto capitalising/capitalizing feature by adding autocapitalize="off" attribute.

<input type="text" id="keyword" name="keyword" 
autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" />

And lastly, you can turn off auto complete in a similar way.

<input type="text" id="keyword" name="keyword" 
autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" />
