Re: Javascript for HTML select/option form with lots of entries

Show all headers | View raw

Alfred, can you show us the page or a mock up or screenshot of it?
By the way, the <datalist> solution works, and yes, you're right in Firefox it shows all that 'have' the number, not just the ones the begin with it, but that seems to be a Firefox implementation, in Opera it shows 'only' the ones that start with it.
Anyhow, the first thing that I thought when thinking of a <select> with 400 options is, poor categorizing design, rather than not enough options.  Thus by looking at the page and context, we can see that you can just add a bit more design, to make it simpler for the user and also less cluttered :)
