Browser support for <datalist> is very poor, which is a shame because it does exactly what I need in our CRM system.

The W3Schools website says that Safari does not support it at all. It works in Chrome but it's got a nasty behaviour insofar as the list does not fully repopulate if you type some characters and then delete them all. You have to either close the dropdown and re-open it, or click in the textbox.
