HTML5 datalist plugin v.0.2

Enables cross-browser* html5 datalist for inputs, by first testing for a native implementation before building one.

*No idea what this looks like in IE6. Fork it and add support!.

• Safari 5 lies about their support for datalist, so this is essentially busted. UA sniffing might be the only way around this...

USAGE:

$('input[list]').datalist();

<input type="search" list="suggestions">
<datalist id="suggestions">
  <!--[if !IE]><!-->
  <select><!--<![endif]-->
    <option label="DM" value="Depeche Mode">
    <option label="Moz" value="Morrissey">
    <option label="NO" value="New Order">
    <option label="TC" value="The Cure">
  <!--[if !IE]><!-->
  </select><!--<![endif]-->
</datalist>

Note:

In your css file, you should add the following: datalist {display:block;}
