How to disable autocorrect in HTML input on Android?
android, html
Solution
In experiencing the same issue I did some digging and discovered it is indeed a bug in Chrome for Android. It appears to just recently have been fixed and hopefully should be released in an update soon.

Problem
I can not disable autocorrect of text input in web browser on Android. I tried this: ``` <input type='text' autocomplete='off' spellcheck='false' autocorrect='off'> ``` Demo: http://jsbin.com/coqum/3 Both Chrome 35 and Firefox 29 do autocorrect on Android 4.4. Is it an Android bug? Is there a way to ask Android not to autocorrect? Update (March 2015) It looks like the bug has been fixed in Chrome on Android, it now obeys `autocomplete='off'`. Firefox on Android still autocorrects. Demo: http://jsbin.com/jivupadolu/1
