I don't mean to be bad;)
but autocomplete isn't part of (X)HTML, so using it will make your page "not valid". Which may not be an issue for you but it prevent you from:
-having a page accessible for people with disabilities (Double-A and Triple-A require a valid page)
It may also be an issue depending on the laws in your area, for example in Europe, all public related website has to be Simple-A (so you can "afford" not te be valid) but should target Double-A (which require a valid page).


All this standard stuff aside, I'm not sure Thomas is having issue with caching or autocomplete.
I think you're not destroying the session when the user logout.
Just make sure the session is terminated in your code.

If you set the headers to disallow caching it should prevent what
Thomas is describing.  However, if the user allowed the browser to
save their password, there is nothing you can do.

Yes there is: add autocomplete="OFF" to your <form> tag.
