The username input in registration form (multisite) should have autocapitalize set to "none"

[christinecooper]

When a user creates an account on a multisite network environment using iOS, it will automatically transform the first letter into capital.

And once the user clicks the register button, they are greeted with the lovely message of "your username cannot contain capital letters".

This can be addressed easily by adding

autocapitalize="none"

to the input field.

I would also suggest adding autocorrect="off"... Read more here: ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6356074/iphone-browser-defaulting-to-uppercase-for-first-letter-of-password-fields

You should add this attribute to all input fields essentially.

I'm going to preface this with: I'd support this inclusion.

I need to bring up the browser/platform support. autocapitalize was created by apple - for iOS5. It is not part of the official HTML spec. This means it will fail any validation. It's supported in Safari (since ios5) and on google Chrome (since v 43) on both Android and iOS.

The 'official' way to do this would be with inputmode but sadly, that received very little interest from browser vendors. It's only on Firefox OS (prefixed)

Here's the official proposal for autocapitalize : ​https://github.com/mounirlamouri/html-autocapitalize/blob/master/proposal.md

+1 We're okay to add autocapitalize and autocorrect for inputs like these due to the popularity of the browsers that use them. Previously #32646 and #32644.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that there are 2 other tickets with this issue, and this is yet to be implemented to core?

Who's making decisions nowadays??

As you should see, those previous tickets was closed as fixed.

Who's making decisions nowadays??

Browser makers never learn and still pollute the web with non-standard things.
