I have such a bad experience with the autocomplete on the select list it's horrible UX.

It pops up this default thing in chrome, so you can't even see OR CHOOSE the top 3 elements.

Really think they should remove autocomplete from the select list.

Loved your article, some cool formatting rules about which field comes first.

Can you go into more detail about the Chrome thing? I dont think I've seen that issue, but sounds like something worth mentioning here.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Austin Gil I think It might actually only occur on custom select lists where the autofill/autocomplete is on top (I had a country list in my head)

Chris Bongers Oh wow. Yeah, I see now. That's super annoying.

It's soooo hard to do custom inputs well. There's definitely a lot to improve on from the native ones, but anything custom should only be better than the native.
