Javascript autocomplete "suggest" and browser's own "memory"

[aprestong]

I believe most modern browsers have a way of remembering what you enter in a search field in a particular site. Then, when you start typing something similar, it will suggest it in a dropdown below the text field.
This seems to get in the way of a javascript "autocomplete suggest dropdown" function.
Is there a way to kill that browser feature temporarially? Google Suggest doesn't have this problem.

Anyone have any thoughts?
