How can I make the display and the value different for an html form datalist option?
For instance, for a select-option field, I can write: <option value="Fake">Sample</option> where "Sample" is displayed, but "Fake" is the value posted.
For a datalist, <option value="Sample" />, "Sample" is both displayed and used as the posted value.
How can I make it so I can post a different value from Sample in a datalist? Thanks!
I need this so I can dynamically populate the datalist from MySQL, displaying a name while using an ID, for example <option value="2">Bob</option> (if this were a select-option field instead of a database field).
I discovered that I could use <option value="Fake" label="Sample"/>, which will hide it in Firefox, but Opera still displays both the Value and the Label. Anyone have any further ideas to display Sample, but hide Fake?
