HTML | DOM Textarea autocomplete Property

Last Updated : 20 Sep, 2022

The textarea autocomplete property in HTML DOM is used to set or return the value of the autocomplete attribute of a textarea field. The autocomplete attribute is used to specify whether the autocomplete attribute has “on” or “off” value. When the autocomplete attribute is set to on, the browser will automatically complete the values based on which the user entered before.
