Thanks for all the info. I suppose I should test on more than just Edge and Firefox, but it's a hobby project. I don't care if anything IE8 or prior breaks, so replacing the type is good for me, but the best is the autocomplete. I never knew there was such and attribute, thanks. It has crossed my mind several times to use a template, but I want to get the rendered HTML correct first.
