Sections

The final feature of the new autocomplete attribute tokens is the ability to declare an arbitrary section to group fields.

A section is defined using a token that starts with section-. What comes after the dash is up to you. The specification provides this example of sections:

html

<fieldset>
  <legend>Ship the blue gift to...</legend>
  <label>
    Address:
    <input name="bc" autocomplete="section-blue shipping street-address" />
  </label>
  <label>
    City:
    <input name="bc" autocomplete="section-blue shipping address-level2" />
  </label>
  <label>
    Postal Code:
    <input name="bp" autocomplete="section-blue shipping postal-code" />
  </label>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
  <legend>Ship the red gift to...</legend>
  <label>
    Address:
    <input name="ra" autocomplete="section-red shipping street-address" />
  </label>
  <label>
    City:
    <input name="rc" autocomplete="section-red shipping address-level2" />
  </label>
  <label>
    Postal Code:
    <input name="rp" autocomplete="section-red shipping postal-code" />
  </label>
</fieldset>

All the tokens

If you’re using the autofill tokens, the order is:

html

[section-](optional) [shipping|billing](optional)
[home|work|mobile|fax|pager](optional) [autofill field name]

The longest possible set autofill token might look something like this:

html

<label for="foo">Mobile phone for delivery</label>
<input
  type="text"
  name="foo"
  id="foo"
  autocomplete="section-red shipping mobile tel"
/>
