Dear all, Suppose I have the following code snippet <input name="pref" list="fruits"> <datalist id="fruits"> <option label="apple" value="1"> <option label="pear" value="2"> <option label="banana" value="3"> </datalist> Purpose is to enable the user to either type a new fruit name or select an existing fruit number. Actually I want the list [apple,pear,banana] as suggestion list, but as I understand correctly, the suggestion in this case would be [1,2,3], the label elements are just annotations to these values. Is there any (proposed) solution to let the user work with the fruit names, so names are given as suggestions and a different name might be typed in, but submit the selected fruit number if one was picked from the list? regards, Rikkert Koppes -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
