If you look at the help for AutoCompleteType, there is a pretty good explanation:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com
Browsers support AutoComplete differently depending on the type of the <input> element. That property is an enumerated set of type options to control how the TextBox performs auto-completion.

Ok, the trick with that kind of request is finding the right Google expression (which I haven't found).
Here is something close (hope it helps):
input text field, no auto-fill please!!

<Quote>Say l've got:
<input type="text" name="username" value="" size="10">
is there _anyway_ to prevent the text field from "auto-filling" itself</Quote>

dear learned one,
I don't want to "off" the auto complete setting. Instead of that I want it to display the login names in that autocomplete type setting of asp.net textbox.
what i want is the textbox should show the previously entered usernames in that textbox not only for my site. but for entire web.
for ex.
if a user tried to log in to his gmail account he will enter his username there. then after some other time he wish to log in into my web application that gmail username also should be displayed. So, that globally that texbox dipslays the usernames previously used by the user. thats all I want.
What I am trying so desperately to say is that there isn't an equivalent. The equivalent behavior is found by using a TextBox with name = 'username'. That article was talking about how it was automatically using AutoComplete just because of the name of the control, and it showed how you could turn off that behavior.
