typeahead in html5 (datalist)

I was surprised to find out out html5 now has suport for "typeahead" - where you start typing and then get suggestions that match in a dropdown.


w3schools has a pretty good example:

<form action="/action_page.php" method="get">

  <label for="browser">Choose your browser from the list:</label>

  <input list="browsers" name="browser" id="browser">

  <datalist id="browsers">

    <option value="Edge">

    <option value="Firefox">

    <option value="Chrome">

    <option value="Opera">

    <option value="Safari">

  </datalist>

  <input type="submit">

</form>
