    New datatype using the html5 <datalist>?

    Hello.

    Im missing the functionality of allowing user-added values to my dropdowns as of right now. I've been asked to create a simple data-type where the editor is a textbox and a dropdown. So that users can supply their free text values if none of the dropdown values apply to the situation. However i just came across <datalist> (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_datalist) and it seems to be exactly what i need in a data editor. 

    Is there anyone who have made a data type using this? I've never actually created a data type at all. And i'm not certain where to begin using MVC. All examples ive found are using webforms.

    Anything pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Magnus,

    What version of umbraco are you using? If its pre7 then webforms is the only way to create data types. In v7 you have the angular js goodness which makes creating datatypes a breeze.

    Regards
