I am trying to achieve a auto complete function by Css For Select Option so Beginner of web i could't it find any sample example for this.could some provide any idea or solution
For example::
In a select box by mention of class name like
<select id="productline" class="Auto-select on">
<option value="Motorcycles">Motorcycles</option>
<option value="Planes">Planes</option>
<option value="Ships">Ships</option>
<option value="Trains">Trains</option>
</select>
Try this.
The <datalist> element specifies a list of pre-defined options for an <input> element.
The <datalist> element is used to provide an "autocomplete" feature on <input> elements. Users will see a drop-down list of pre-defined options as they input data.
Use the <input> element's list attribute to bind it together with a <datalist> element.
<input list="browsers">
<datalist id="browsers">
<option value="Internet Explorer">
<option value="Firefox">
<option value="Chrome">
<option value="Opera">
<option value="Safari">
</datalist>

If I set the name or id of an Input with a list like 'cia' two strange selectable values appear at the bottom of it. Gas and gas.
Any idea why?
<input list="browsers" id="cia">
<datalist id="browsers">
<option value="Internet Explorer">
<option value="Firefox">
<option value="Chrome">
<option value="Opera">
<option value="Safari">
</datalist>

You might have typed it into a datalist with the same ID before and your browser has cached it. Try incognito mode and they should be gone.
You can try and prevent caching with the answers mentioned here
How to turn off autocomplete while keep using datalist element in html
I am passing 10 options to datalist which are displayed fine in dropdown.
But sometime I am getting couple of more options separated by horizontal line at the bottom of option list(Chrome might be cacheing or displaying some option repeated). I am not able to get why chrome is showing these extra options separated by horizontal line
I went through different articles available on internet related to datalist and I came to know that datalist accepts autocomplete attribute. It give me a hint that extra options(might be - Previous searches, suggestions) I am getting are might be due to autocomplete feature of datalist, So I tried setting it to "off".
Now I am not getting those extra option and horizontal line in option list anymore.
E.g. code snippet -
<input list="browsers" autocomplete="off">
<datalist id="browsers">
<option value="Internet Explorer">
<option value="Firefox">
<option value="Chrome">
<option value="Opera">
<option value="Safari">
</datalist>
I also came across one more attribute which datalist accepts, autocorrect="off". But I do not needed this attribute to resolve above problem.
option.select-hr { border-bottom: 1px dotted #000; }
<select name="test">
<option val="a">A</option>
<option val="b" class="select-hr">B</option>
<option val="c">C</option>
<option val="d">D</option>
</select>
But generally speaking, the only method is to put an option in with dashes, and try to make it unselectable.
<select name="test">
<option val="a">A</option>
<option val="b">B</option>
<option disabled="disabled">----</option>
<option val="c">C</option>
<option val="d">D</option>
</select>
I google it but no luck.

You can't.
As per the specifications, the datalist element allows either phrasing content or zero or more elements.
The datalist element can be used in two ways. In the simplest case, the datalist element has just option element children.
In the more elaborate case, the datalist element can be given contents that are to be displayed for down-level clients that don't support datalist. In this case, the option elements are provided inside a select element inside the datalist element.
The phrasing content you are allowed to provide is there as a backup in the case where the browser doesn't support the datalist element.
I have to make some list attributes. I found an example on w3schools, that actually shows exact like the code I want. I can see that it is not supported in Safari and IE9 and down. Is there any script you can put in my code, so I can use this code, or what do I have to use if my datalist has to be supported by all browsers?
<input list="browsers">
<datalist id="browsers">
<option value="Internet Explorer">
<option value="Firefox">
<option value="Chrome">
<option value="Opera">
<option value="Safari">
</datalist>
It seems that you don't need users to type anything, so why not to use a simple select element?
The select element is supported by all browsers and it is really similar to use. Below is an example:
<select>
<option value="ie">Internet Explorer</option>
<option value="firefox">Firefox</option>
<option value="chrome">Chrome</option>
<option value="opera">Opera</option>
<option value="safari">Safari</option>
</select>
If you need more information you can see it here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_select.asp
If you want to know the difference between the select and the datalist you can read this:
HTML Form: Select-Option vs Datalist-Option
I used bootstrap framework for it instead.
Is there a way to add an additional 'submenu' to a dropdown list on a contact form? So it would technically work like a drop-down navigation.
Below is the drop-down list for my contact form. And i've been asked to see if I can add additional options to lets say, Existing Partner. So when they hover over that item it expands to other options.
<label for="hear">How did you hear about us? </label>
<select class="contact-drop-down" name="hear" id="hear">
<option>Click to choose</option>
<option value="1">Existing Partner</option>
<option value="2">Word of mouth</option>
<option value="3">Brochure</option>
<option value="4">Email mailshot</option>
<option value="5">Google</option>
<option value="6">Yahoo</option>
<option value="7">Bing</option>
<option value="8">Other search engine</option>
<option value="9">Other</option>
</select>
You can't expand on hover with the standard select within HTML, but you can with either Javascript or HTML5 and CSS3.
This site has a list of 30 examples of HTML5 navigation menus and this site has a large selection of Javascript and JQuery examples.
Hopefully one of these might help you get what you want.
You can use optgroup tag for this.
<select>
<optgroup label="Existing Partners">
<option value="existing_partner_a">Partner A</option>
<option value="existing_partner_b">Partner B</option>
<option value="existing_partner_others">Others</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
No you cannot add sub menu to actual dropdown control. But you may find many custom controls.

Saurabh Goyal above suggested to use . I also thought of suggesting the same. But is used for categorization & I dont think thats what you want.
Try optgroup for this .for example
<select>
<optgroup label="Swedish Cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="German Cars">
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
