How do you clear the boxes that come up on web pages? i.e. if your on yahoo and type something in the search box, then come back to it later and type something else in with the same letter, it then drops down a menu showing previous entry's?

I have typed my password in the same box as my user name for Hotmail now every time I start to type in my user name it pops open the menu showing password to!

Any ideas?

or if you want to delete just from one form when the drop down appears select the duff entry and hit delete simple as that!
