Is it possible to stop 1 single form field from being cached?
I would like all the name and address fields to be cached by Internet
Explorer, but not the credit card field.
How is that done?
thanks

Cached? Do you mean you don't want the browser to save certain form
data? If so, then you can't force what you want on the client end.
IE/Win might be conned into not saving it, but other browsers will not.

It sounds like you need to take some security 101 courses, preferably
before accepting credit cards on the net. Do you have ssl? A certificate?

Try this:
<INPUT name="creditcard" type="text" autocomplete="off">

"That's it" in browsers where that works. What about browsers where
that doesn't work?
