Do you mean <datalist>? It doesn't meet all use cases (especially if what needs to be listed requires dynamic updating) but browser support slowly has gotten better.
Unfortunately, I recently heard that all the major browsers fail to resize the datalist text on zoom (my guess is it's rendered outside the DOM, like the browser's UI).

- bob1029 5y agoDatalist has some unfortunate UX quirks in my experience. Trying to view the list of available items after you have already selected one is not possible on the browsers I used this week. A select will allow you to view the list regardless of the current value.
