Dear all,
 
Suppose I have the following code snippet
 
<input name="pref" list="fruits">
<datalist id="fruits">
<option label="apple" value="1">
<option label="pear" value="2">
<option label="banana" value="3">
</datalist>

Purpose is to enable the user to either type a new fruit name or select an 
existing fruit number. Actually I want the list [apple,pear,banana] as 
suggestion list, but as I understand correctly, the suggestion in this case 
would be [1,2,3], the label elements are just annotations to these values. 
 
Is there any (proposed) solution to let the user work with the fruit names, so 
names are given as suggestions and a different name might be typed in, but 
submit the selected fruit number if one was picked from the list?
 
regards,
Rikkert Koppes
