Autocomplete Without jQuery UI

You can use HTML5 'list' attribute in your input textbox and provide it a custom list of values by using datalist.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!--your stuff-->
</head>
<body>
<!--your stuff-->
<input type="text" id="txtAutoComplete" list="languageList"/><!--your input textbox-->
<datalist id="languageList">
<option value="HTML" />
<option value="CSS" />
<option value="JavaScript" />
<option value="SQL" />
<option value="PHP" />
<option value="jQuery" />
<option value="Bootstrap" />
<option value="Angular" />
<option value="ASP.NET" />
<option value="XML" />
</datalist>
</body>
</html>

HTML

I created a demo of autocomplete here is the link jsbin.com


I've started writing an auto complete / mentioning plugin in plain Javascript. I't not completed yet, but it could be a good start point.

github


Here is one little autocomplete plugin written by me, please try: https://github.com/Fischer-L/autoComplt

Because I am not using jQuery and don't want to include some big libs just for one feature, I write for myself.

This plugin doesn't depend on other libs and doesn't have to include other CSS, so just including one JS script is enough.

P.S If you use it and find some thing which needs to be improved, please tell me :)
