Trigger autocomplete without submitting a form

Tested with Chrome, IE and Firefox:

<iframe id="remember" name="remember" class="hidden" src="https://stackoverflow.com/content/blank"></iframe>

<form target="remember" method="post" action="https://stackoverflow.com/content/blank">
  <fieldset>
    <label for="username">Username</label>
    <input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="">
    <label for="password">Password</label>
    <input type="password" name="password" id="password" value="">
  </fieldset>
  <button type="submit" class="hidden"></button>
</form>

In your Javascript trigger the submit, e.g. $("form").submit(); $("#submit_button").click() (updated from comments)

You need to return an empty page at /content/blank for get & post (about:blank didn’t work for me but YMMV).
