Killing Bookmark Auto-Fill in Safari

[Sogni]

Autofill drives me nuts!
I don't care what it's auto-filling, I hate it!

Even tho it's bookmarked, I don't want Safari guessing what I'm typing!
i killed the history, cache, and it still does it! Took me a while to realize it's getting the auto-fill information from my bookmarks! ARGH!!!

Anyone figure out how to kill it?
(without killing the bookmarks that is).

Fret not, dear mac user, help is always at hand!

First off, while is Safari, go to: File->Preferences>AutoFill and then click on the Edit... button to the right of the checkbox marked: User names passwords.

Once in there, either remove all or remove a site on an individual basis. Or, if you _really_ don't like AutoFill, just un-check the aforementioned checkbox.

I already had all autofill checkboxes unchecked (see attachment) and it's still autofilling from my bookmarks.

Can you tell? I *REALLY* hate autofill!

I get the same thing. Safari seems to have an internal AutoFill that just can't be countermanded by the preferences. I've run into it before.

I got that impression, yeah!

You might want to run /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor and have a scout around the preference files for Safari.

I've had a quick look around but I didn't seen anything obvious. You might want to go inside Safari; view Package contents. There's some .plist files in there that might hold some promise!..

Have you given Safari Enhancer a shot?
