How do I disable autocomplete using javascript or JQuery?

Question

I've always searching how to disable autocomplete but I haven't found exact answers.

It is usually a problem of chrome browsers that setting autocomplete="off" into the html isn't working.

Is the problem that autocomplete="off" is being ignored in Chrome? — BlakePetersen, Sep 03 '14 at 01:28

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        try {
            $("input[type='text']").each(function(){
                           $(this).attr("autocomplete","off");
                        });
        }
        catch (e)
        { }
    });

</script>
