Two of the worst features ever implemented are the „autocapitalize“ and „autocorrect“ features from iOS devices, because they are enabled by default. It does not make fun to write a blog comment in another language… Or if you just want to enter your email address in a form: The first letter is always upper case, and you always have to kill the suggestion while writing some text.<\/p>\n

To disable this behaviour, you have to add two attributes to the components, autocorrect=off<\/em> and autocapitalize=off<\/em>:<\/p>\n

<xp:inputText id=\"inputText1\">\r\n   <xp:this.attrs>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <xp:attr name=\"autocorrect\" value=\"off\" \/>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <xp:attr name=\"autocapitalize\" value=\"off\" \/>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 <\/xp:this.attrs>\r\n<\/xp:inputText><\/pre>\n
To make life a little bit easier you can add these attributes by using a theme, and can disable the theme for every component for which this feature should be enabled:<\/p>\n
