Prevent browser from caching input control value

You can input attribute autocomplete="off" to prevent browsers from filling in forms.

<input type="text" name="name" autocomplete="off" />

Bear in mind, forms that are actually submitted will save the data to Autofill database in the browser. Forms submitted through AJAX will not result in saving inputs.

Make page to tell browser not to cache/preserve input values

Are you explicitly setting the values as blank? For example:

<input type="text" name="textfield" value="">

That should stop browsers putting data in where it shouldn't. Alternatively, you can add the autocomplete attribute to the form tag:

<form autocomplete="off" ...></form>

Sounds like it is caused by the autocompletion feature of browser:

By default, browsers remember information that the user submits through fields on websites. This enables the browser to offer autocompletion (that is, suggest possible completions for fields that the user has started typing in) or autofill (that is, pre-populate certain fields upon load).

To disable this feature for a form:

<form autocomplete="off">
    ... 
</form>

Or disable a field :

<input ... autocomplete="off">

Here's a detailed explanation on off

The "off" keyword indicates either that the control’s input data is particularly sensitive (for example the activation code for a nuclear weapon); or that it is a value that will never be reused (for example a one-time-key for a bank login) and the user will therefore have to explicitly enter the data each time, instead of being able to rely on the user agent to prefill the value for him; or that the document provides its own autocomplete mechanism and does not want the user agent to provide autocompletion values.

For more details, see how to disable autocompletion on MDN and w3c.org

Hope it helps.

How do you disable browser autocomplete on web form field / input tags?

Firefox 30 ignores autocomplete="off" for passwords, opting to prompt the user instead whether the password should be stored on the client. Note the following commentary from May 5, 2014:

• The password manager always prompts if it wants to save a password. Passwords are not saved without permission from the user.
• We are the third browser to implement this change, after IE and Chrome.

According to the Mozilla Developer Network documentation, the Boolean form element attribute autocomplete prevents form data from being cached in older browsers.

<input type="text" name="foo" autocomplete="off" />

It should be as easy as adding autocomplete="off" to your form element.
