   I've always used this:

   function disableAutoSave(){
   wp_deregister_script('autosave');
   }
   add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'disableAutoSave' );

   but in WP 3.3 (Debug On) it throws:

   Notice: Undefined index: autosave in /{path}/wp-includes/class.wp-scripts.php on line 158

   Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /{path}/wp-includes/class.wp-scripts.php on line 158

   What's the correct implementation?

   Workaround it with?

   define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', SOME_LONG_TIME_PERIOD);

   Thanks but no. I wish to disable it.

   Not sure if this method still works, but it did last time i tried it.
   

   function hacky_autosave_disabler( $src, $handle ) {
       if( 'autosave' != $handle )
           return $src;
       return '';
   }
   add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'hacky_autosave_disabler', 10, 2 );

   Simply wipes out the src value for the autosave script, which in essence stops the auto saves(or did last time i tested it in 3.0).

   Throw this in your functions.php

   add_action( 'admin_init', 'disable_autosave' );
   function disable_autosave() {
           wp_deregister_script( 'autosave' );
   }
