[users@httpd] Problem with HTML datalist tag
Hello,
my laptop at the office is windows 7 with internet explorer 10.
our apache server is version 2.2.3 running on a Linux system.
I have a small HTML test file with a <datalist> tag that works fine when runlocally through the browser.
However when I send the file up to the apache server and then attempt to display the web page with the <datalist> tag it does not display correctly. I just see an input box with the contents of the datalist tag choices displayed beside it. I have checked the apache error log and there was no entry of any klind for my web page. Why does the apache web server somehow manage to mess up my simple little web page which is as follows :
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Datalist</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Datalist</H1>
<input type="text" name="product" list="productName"/>
<datalist id="productName">
<option value="Pen">Pen</option>
<option value="Stapler">Stapler</option>
<option value="Pencil">Pencil</option>
<option value="Eraser">Eraser</option>
<option value="Paper">Paper</option>
</datalist>
</BODY>
</HTML>

and he's using an HTML5 tag <dataset> which is browser sensitive (e.g
Safari won't touch it...)

server side includes are certainly not mentioned, nor in the contents of that "simple html test"

Does httpd parse shtml files or does it hand it off like it hands of php files? I thought httpd did handle the shtml requests, but it’s been over 10 years since people cared about shtml. :)
HTTPD does not touch html pages, it's not its function, nor the function or any other web server, httpd sends them to the client when requested and the client interprets them.

Don't know where you got that idea supposing httpd modifies html pages.
HTTPD does not touch html pages, it's not its function, nor the function or
any other web server, httpd sends them to the client when requested and the
client interprets them.
It is at least surprising you blame the Apache Web Server over the client
in something like this.
I would be inclined to think (but you didn't showed the source of the file
you see with the browser when you access it in the server), since your
server is in Linux and you are handling the file and testing locally in a
windows, that it is a carriage return thing rather than any other. Try
dos2unix the file in the server or similar, remember windows and Linux do
not use the same characters for newline/carriage returns.

If you suspect that it is a web server issue, use browser developer tools
to confirm that the data and content-type of the file is sent as expected.
Presumably it is sent bit for bit the same, but there is a chance that some
metadata is wrong, such as if you are using a non-standard file extension
for the media type or your server is strangely configured.
Otherwise, you could probably get better help from a HTML-related group.
