Hey Guys, I am trying to use a datalist to give users suggestions when they complete a form, however, it does not seem to work:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container my-3">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">Register for an account</div>
<div class="card-body">
<div class="alert alert-info">
<p>Before you can use our website to book events you must create an account. Registration is
free
and can be done by completing the form below.</p>
<p>Once your account has been setup, you may apply for a "Club" account to book events and
manage
club subscriptions.</p>
<p>If you are a parent, please use your name and contact details here. You will be able to
add
children into your bookings separately.</p>
</div>
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('register') }}">

This is essentially just a modified register.blade.php form. The datalist is being populated correctly. I just cannot work out where I am going wrong.
The form just shows the browser saved password prompts :/
Cheers Guys, Andrew
