Disable suggestions of inputs - Symfony2

Question

i have an input field of this style:

<div class="contactotexto">{{ form_label(form.username, 'Nombre de Usuario: ') }}</div>
<div class="contactocampo">{{ form_widget(form.username) }}</div>
<div class="mensaje"><p>Ingrese un nombre de usuario entre 5 y 20 caracteres.</p></div>

"p" tag remains hidden until a focus on the input is done, and then I show it with jquery.

My problem is that when the text is focus , the text appears but as the user's browser remembers the latest posts , it cover them.

In what way I can remove suggestions ?

Thanks

You can do it in your FormBuilder with:

 ->add('test', 'text', array(
                'required' => true,
                'attr' => array(
                    'autocomplete' => 'off',
                ))

This is a browser feature called "autocomplete" and disabling it will help solve your problem but it is not an easy thing to do and most browsers refuse to have it disabled for "security" concerns of users forgetting their passwords especially on sites that force you to use at least one capital, one number, one special one this and that.
