Turning off autocorrect and autocapitalize on input fields on safari for iPad

[cjustice]

Is there a way to turn off autocorrect and autocapitalize on input fields? Safari on the iPad defaults to this behavior. This can be turned off programatically via setting attributes on the input tag:

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

I looked for something similar to setBrowserSpellCheck(), and didn't find anything.

Thanks,

Please try the next nightly build (dated June 8) on the 9.0 branch.
We have enabled 2 new properties to do control this - TextItem.browserAutoCorrect and TextItem.browserAutoCapitalize

Thanks for the quick addition of this functionality. Is the 9.0 branch the 4.1d nightly builds of SmartGWT Enterprise? Unfortunately, we haven't purchased 4.0 yet, so I can't access it to try it.

yes - this will impact 4.0d and 4.1d.

We'll port the change across to 3.1p as well - it'll probably take a couple of days. We'll update the thread when we've made this change

Awesome! Thanks for putting it on the branch.

It would be even more useful to have these features on the DynamicForm as well, like setBrowserSpellCheck() is.

It appears that Safari does support the autoCorrect and autoCapitialize on forms as well: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/DesigningForms/DesigningForms.html
