You can try the following:
<input type="text" name="foo" value="" autocomplete="off" />

Autocomplete is an IE-proprietary extension, value="" is not, but I suggest
not using it.
In general, trying to override or alter browser features (which can be
turned off by users in the browser options if they want to!) is a bad idea.
Any exception to the known interface behavior adds confusion.
