The autocomplete input nobody is using (HTML datalist tag)

[@federicobau8651]

That's interesting, is one of the many tags that in HTML you will never use, but you never know may need one day, or if I see it somewhere now I what it is

[@johanneskingma]

Yeah, DataList is cool. One Problem though, as soon as a value is entered the dropdown magic looses its power. So you can forget a default value for the input field it will hide the drop down

[@CodeVault]

Yea, I wish there was some better default implementation across browsers for such things. In the end, in production-ready projects, we end up making our own autocomplete or using an existing third-party library

6:10 so how to make it autoselect ?

[@CodeVault]

You'd need a custom input for that with some JavaScript code that does this for you. One way is to just clear the input if the user types in anything that is not inside that select list

[@dorkas123456]

So what if i wanna search datalist by attribute of option which is not displayed? Is that possible?

[@CodeVault]

Unfortunately, no
