Google Chrome crashes form submit with auto-fill on.
At work today we ran into a unique issue with Google’s Chrome web browser. With auto-fill turned on, and submitting a web form, it would cause the browser to crash instantly as soon as you pushed the “red button” to submit the form.
To handle this issue it took some web surfing and a little help with fellow co-workers. Turns out there is a bug with Chrome and the auto-fill functionality in the browser. To combat this problem you have to set a autocompelte attribute on the form input to disable Chrome from even turning on the “auto-fill” feature in the first place.
<input name="input-field" type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
Once we made this change, no more crashing!
Special thanks goes out to Travis from work.
