How to fix autocomplete valid on Wix Studio

Steps for Wix Studio

1. Open Wix Studio Editor for your site and enable Dev Mode (toggle in the top bar).
2. Select the input element in the canvas or locate it in the Layers panel.
3. In the Properties & Events panel on the right, switch to the Code tab; you can set element attributes programmatically using $w('#inputId').setAttribute('autocomplete', 'given-name') in the page's code file.
4. Alternatively, open the relevant page's code file (Page Code panel at the bottom) and add $w.onReady(function(){ $w('#firstNameInput').setAttribute('autocomplete','given-name'); }); for each field.
5. Preview the page and test autofill in the browser.

What is autocomplete valid?

The HTML `autocomplete` attribute tells browsers (and assistive technologies) what kind of data a form field expects — for example, a person's name, email address, shipping street address, or credit card number. WCAG Success Criterion 1.3.5 ("Identify Input Purpose") requires that any field collecting personal information carry a correct, recognised `autocomplete` value from a defined list. If the value is missing, misspelled, or used on the wrong type of field (e.g. `autocomplete="email"` on a password input), browsers and screen readers cannot reliably identify its purpose, and the autocomplete feature breaks.

For users with cognitive disabilities, motor impairments, or low vision, browser autofill is not a convenience — it is often the only practical way to complete a checkout form. An invalid or missing `autocomplete` value means autofill silently fails, forcing customers to type every field manually and dramatically increasing checkout abandonment. WCAG 1.3.5 is a Level AA requirement, which is the legal conformance target in most accessibility laws worldwide (ADA, EAA, AODA, EN 301 549); non-compliance creates real legal exposure. Fixing it also improves Google's Page Experience signals and can lift organic conversion rates, since a frictionless checkout is one of the clearest levers on revenue.
