When I write some text in a input text and I submit it the browser (I
think) save the text and will show it in a list the next time you
write the same text in the same input text, in the same page.
My question is. Somebody know how I can make that this list of options
don't appear?
I don't want because I want to show a database list of options.
Thanks.

It may. It has nothing to do with HTML, really. It's a browser feature,
considered as nice user-friendliness by some, as security threat by some
others. As usual, both are right and wrong.

This depends on your browser.

Huh? Sounds rather unrelated.

I found the solution looking for another thing in a site.
You can turn off the feature with
<input type="text" autocomplete="off"...
It work in firefox. I cant try with it in explorer now. If I do, I put
another post.
Thanks.

Change the field name every time you display the page... This is easy
if you use scripting language...
