Disable auto-punctuation on html input for chrome, safari etc on MacOs

Is there a way to disable auto-punctuate feature in html input text field and textarea?

For example after typing a word and double tapping space key immediately, a dot is automatically added in-between the 2 spaces in the textfield, this also causes the keypress javascript event to be fired just once instead of twice.

HTML input fields don't have this behavior by default, you'd have to implement it by yourself.

If you're experiencing this on mobile (Android), it's a setting that the user can enable in the keyboard settings. It doesn't depend on the browser though.

EDIT: MacOS has the same behavior as mobile keyboards. To disable it, check out this article.
