User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

A form with autocomplete="off" will be ignored when
it is echoed from a JavaScript document.write see "Steps to Reproduce".



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
When the second time filling in the username a password will be suggested.
This shouldn’t happen because: autocomplete="off"

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<form autocomplete="off">');
document.write('Username: <input type="text" name="username"><br>');
document.write('Password: <input type="password" name="password"><br>');
document.write('<input type="submit">');
document.write('</form>');
</script>

What happens if that's just on the password element? i.e:
document.write('Password: <input type="password" name="password" autocomplete="off"><br>');

A autocomplete form must have at least two input field, otherwise there is nothing to complete.

This is almost certainly a dupe of 418288.
