Since yesterday my google chrome don't show tags of a datalist
Like
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="/action_page.php" method="get">
<input list="browsers" name="browser">
<datalist id="browsers">
<option value="Internet Explorer">test</option>
<option value="Firefox">test</option>
<option value="Chrome">test</option>
<option value="Opera">test</option>
<option value="Safari">test</option>
</datalist>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The datalist tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions, or in Safari.</p>
</body>
</html>
I get for my dropdown datalist only the values, but not the tags "test"
I use Version 73.0.3683.86 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)
But I use the same Google Chrome version on a another computer there the tags are still working
I believe this bug is here
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=945225
The first comment give a workaround :
A temporary workaround until the bug is fixed is to disable the feature by running Chrome with "--disable-features=AutofillDropdownLayout" command line switch or disable chrome://flags/#autofill-dropdown-layout
I would have made this a comment to Tommotmot's question, but I didn't have the reputation points. The datalist worked on Chrome 72 (I don't know the exact version number) but stopped working when I updated to 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit) today.
As Tommotmot stated, only the value attributes appear from the option-tags. I will add that the options are not searchable, i.e., typing substrings of an option innerHTML does not reduce the option list. However, typing in substrings of the value does reduce the option list.
This is still broken in Chrome Version 74.0.3729.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)
The workaround listed above...
...A temporary workaround until the bug is fixed is to disable the feature by running Chrome with "--disable-features=AutofillDropdownLayout" command line switch or disable chrome://flags/#autofill-dropdown-layout
...no longer works.
Then only work-around appears to be to use another browser.
