I am only now learning about the datalist HTML element.

@stefan Thanks! I didn't know of that one, either.

@stefan It’s nice that you can get it anywhere. Unfortunately when trying to build autocomplete with it, it’s not as good as it could be - it lacks ability to fuzzy-search (or unaccented search for languages with special characters) through the list. I think I also tried overcoming this with some JS but couldn’t make it work.

@stefan that article both blew my mind and humbled me. Thanks for sharing

@stefan
The events it throws seem to be pretty useless when it comes to finding the event of there was actually something selected from there or when somebody types something within the input box.

@Flominator If you check some of the other replies, it looks like there's quite a few issues. A bit disappointing.
