No tbh I actually really like your solution compared to the alternatives that have been thrown around.
I'm just pointing out it's not easy to implement just to get the logic and styling to work right. And then on top of that, making sure it's screen reader and keyboard accessible adds another layer that is often simply ignored
The simpler solution I put forth resolves most people's problems, maintains the advantages of using native HTML controls the way they were meant to be used, and is easy to implement in... literally a few seconds.
- robocat 4y agoTotally agree. Custom entry fields have different compromises (oh defuckinently), and trying to be too tricky leads to corner-case usability problems and a heavy maintenance overhead in my experience. I judged it was worthwhile for our users’ needs at the time for me to spend very significant development time plus ongoing development time, but my choices would be totally inappropriate in many other situations.
