Is there a flag that you can set to disable the automatic suggestion of behavior for the HTML field on iPad / iPhone / Android / etc.

For desktop browsers, I can set this in the field to disable the autocomplete list based on recent entries.

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

However, this does not disable the auto-update feature of iPad / iPhone / Android / etc., which can be very unpleasant if your username is a concatenation of your first or last name or if your device considers that you want to use uppercase first letter.

eg. "jsmith" either becomes "Smith" because he thinks you missed it or "Jsmith" to try and be good ... not what you really need.

So the question is ... is there a way to disable this behavior based on each field?

You want to use attribute autocomplete instead of autocomplete. Autocomplete attribute is used to autocomplete a form.

FYI is a bug in Chrome for Android, as a result of which these HTML 5 attributes do not work properly. It looks like they have been fixed recently and hopefully will be published soon in the update.
