It's easier to just check for the interface.
if (window.HTMLDataListElement) {
// datalist is supported.
}
However, thanks to a bug in Opera 9, you have do this:
if (window.HTMLDataListElement || window.HTMLDatalistElement) {
// datalist is supported.
}
The first is what the spec defined, the second is what Opera initially
implemented, but it's being fixed.
