I am building a data gathering application and for certain text fields, like street names, we want to turn off the built-in iPhone feature that automatically suggests words while the user is entering text into the field.

Is there a way to turn this feature off for a text field?

Hi Pauldivaniii,

I’ve done an investigation and found that you should set the autocorrect attr to off in your <input> tags (textfields):

<input type=”text” id=”your-field” autocorrect=”off” />

To include this attr in your textfield you can add the next code in the phoneui.documentReadyHandler function:

$("#m1-<screenName>-<textfieldName>").attr("autocorrect","off");

Worked well on iPod touch iOS 6.1.3

Thanks Octavo. I just now saw this and added it to my application name fields.
