title: Preventing Browser Text Input Suggestions
body: <p>I am building my own local search UI element that gives local search suggestions as you type. The problem I am having is that when I focus on the html text input element my browser (Safari, but could happen in other browsers) displays its own text suggestions based on things that I've typed in the past. </p>
  
  <p>My guess is that this is dependent on the ID or Class of the &lt; input > tag. So probably, if I change the input tag class to something obscure, the browser will not have any suggestions to offer. But I wonder if there isn't a more elegant way...</p>
  
  <p>A related issue is about text field highlighting that happens in Safari when you focus on the &lt; input > element. When I am filling up a form on Facebook, I don't see this outline. It would be great to hear if someone knows how to handle those two issues.</p>
