Re: [Xsltforms-support] Fwd: select1 selection="open"

[<bvi...@la...>]

Hi Alain, 

I wouldn't say that I'm hurry because I use efficiently XSLTForms since 3 years without this option but now I start designing new forms with fields like tags or symbols. They allow users to type any existing (or new) keyword but open select1 could help to auto-complete values and avoid typos. 
I also tried to activate browsers internal auto-complete feature but since input controls are not inside <form/> markup it doesn't works. 

Thank you for your interest.

Hi Benoit, 
This is an interesting suggestion and browser support does not sound bad with IE10, for example. 
I need some time for implementing and testing this. Are you in a hurry? 
Thanks!
