Clear All Fields When Index Page Loads

Hi:

I'm getting some data in the username and password fields whenever I open the Index (login) page of a new Website. How do I have DW clear those fields when the Index page loads?

Thank you for your attention.

What are the values of the form elements set to?

It may be the browser that has stored the values and not your pages. I'd need to know how the values are stored before I could tell you how to clear them.

If the browser itself is storing them, a solution might be to clear them with javascript at the bottom of the page... something like:

<script>
document.getElementById('fieldID').value = "";
</script>

Ray:

The page in question is the Login page, where values in the username and password are supposed to be empty, no? The curious thing is that a) in the program copy installed in the Ohio server the Login fields appear empty when the page loads, b) in the copy that opens in the local machine (XAMPP) only the password field shows dots and, c) in the company server where the program will be finally installed, both the user name and the password fields show some data.

Just in case, attached please find a copy of the page in question.

It sounds like it is probably the browser that saved the information. When you submitted the page at some point the browser asked if you wanted the data to be saved and you clicked yes. I don't think there is a reliable way to remove that option or subsequent behavior cross browser reliably other than to use a javascript like I've referenced above.
