 * Hello,
 * I have noticed that autocomplete:off does not work in my CF7 forms. Instead, 
   Google is recommending this:
 * <p><label>Account: <input type=”text” name=”ac” autocomplete=”off”></label></
   p>
 * However, autocomplete=”off” added to a CF7 tag just adds off in the text field.
 * What should I do?

 * I don’t want to turn the autocomplete function off completely, only for some 
   specific fields and I’m not sure how to do it.
 * autocomplete:off or autocomplete:false does nothing
 * What works is <input type=”text” autocomplete=”off”> but that creates a different
   type of an input field and it does not create a cf7 tag which I could use later
   on.
