Today I was reading an issue of Šime Vidas' great Web Platform news. He describes something that was news to me – datalist
elements not only provide values that can be chosen but also have a mechanism to show labels, too.
<label>
Animal:
<input name=animal list=animals>
</label>
<datalist id=animals>
<option value="Dog">?
<option value="Cat">?
<option value="Duck">?
</datalist>
The markup above results in the following:
That's very cool in my opinion. :)
But heads-up: before you jump onto using this - make sure to read Šime's article about it. Currently, there is a Firefox bug that troubles user experience tremendously.
If you want to play around with it and see it in action you can have a look at this CodePen.
