December 18, 2022 - 2 min read

To autocomplete the value for the Company or Organization fields in an input HTML element, you can add the attribute called autocomplete with the value of organization to the input HTML element using HTML.

TL;DR

<!-- 
  A simple webpage with an `input` HTML
  element with autocomplete for the Company 
-->
<html>
  <body>
    <label for="company">Company</label>
    <input type="text" id="company" autocomplete="organization" />
  </body>
</html>

For example, let's say we have an input HTML element to accept the Company of the user.

The HTML for that would look something like this,

<!-- A simple webpage with an `input` HTML element -->
<html>
  <body>
    <label for="company">Company</label>
    <input type="text" id="company" />
  </body>
</html>

A visual representation of the webpage is shown below,

As you can see from the above GIF that when clicking on the input HTML element, the autocomplete is not working for the Company field.

To activate the autocomplete feature, we have to add the autocomplete attribute with the value of organization. The organization value refers that we need to autocomplete the name of Company for the user.

It can be done like this,

<!-- 
  A simple webpage with an `input` HTML
  element with autocomplete for the Company 
-->
<html>
  <body>
    <label for="company">Company</label>
    <input type="text" id="company" autocomplete="organization" />
  </body>
</html>

Now the webpage looks like this,

As you can see from the above GIF now when clicking on the input HTML element, a autocomplete dropdown is shown to the user where they can select their company or organization name.

We have successfully added the autocomplete feature and added the value for the Company input HTML element using HTML. Yay 🥳!
