How do I add a HTML datalist to my game?

I want to have a text input which acts as a datalist because what im making has too many options to display as a regular list.

Something like this. Is there an aternative im not yet aware of?

<datalist id="player">

<option value="gary">

<option value="bob">

<option value="toni">

<option value="amy">

<option value="john">

</datalist>

There's no option as simple as a Datalist in html.

You would need to write events that would compare the current text if you want autocomplete, otherwise I'd just use the List Object.

Unfortunately that is not a solution for me, im wanting to add 100s or maybe even 1000s of items

You could always use an Iframe with your own html, but getting the return isn't real simple.
