A new HTML5 form attribute called autocomplete should help you with this.

Use it like so:

<input type="text" name="firstName" autocomplete="off" />

Or on the entire form:

<form autocomplete="off"></form>

Remember, you can only suggest what you want the browser to do... you can't force it. As browsers begin implementing the HTML5 standard more and more then this will take effect more often. But you can begin using it now.

This should work:

$("#field_id").attr("autocomplete", "off");

Or, on your html element:

<input type="text" autocomplete="off" value="" />
