Is there a way to create a searchable picklist in a visualforce page?












2















I have a picklist field and I was wondering if there is a way to add a searchbox at the top of the picklist where we enter a picklist value and it searches through the picklist to find the values. Something like this:

    When I was presented with the same problem I ended up using a custom lookup component, like this one: lightningstrike.io/#!/strikeLookup

There is no standard component/way available to do this. You need to write your custom code to achieve it.



First you can use the dataList tag to achieve it.



<datalist id="browsers">
<option value="Internet Explorer">
<option value="Firefox">
<option value="Chrome">
<option value="Opera">
<option value="Safari">
</datalist>


enter image description here



Or you can use third part JS like Select2.
