I have a html page, in which I have a text box. When I double click on it, a drop down box, drops down. But I need to prevent it.
How do I do that?

If you don't want a drop-down, then don't put one on the page! What behaviour do you want ?

No, I mean, I am not putting a drop down list box.
I have a text box. Lets say I have a login screen where the userID (my textbox) and the password field is present. When ever a person enters his name and logs in his userID gets stored, and when some other person wants to log, and tries to enter his name in userID textbox drops down and shows the previously entered names. How do I prevent this.
Thanks

That's a browser setting as far as I know ... i don't think you can prevent it programatically!

In IE you can turn this off by going into Tools->Internet Options and clicking on the Content Tab. Then under personal information (near the bottom) click on the Auto Complete button and uncheck the appropriate check boxes under Use Auto Complete for... in the dialog that pops up.

I don't think that can be done with the HTML <OPTION> element.
