How to disable mobile keyboard autocomplete on website input

I am writting mobile web and I want to have simple

<input type="text" /> 

where the android keyboard in browser (Chrome) will not suggest any words. I already tried:

<form ... autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" spellcheck="false">
<input type="text" ... autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" spellcheck="false" />
</form>

but it doesn't work.

Is there any way how to do this? Is that even possible?

Thanks for any reply. :-)

In experiencing the same issue I did some digging and discovered it is a bug in Chrome for Android. It appears to just recently have been fixed and hopefully should be released in an update soon.
