Autocomplete is a feature that suggests possible completions for an input field as the user types, typically seen in search boxes. It enhances user experience by providing real-time suggestions and helping users find what they’re looking for faster and more efficiently.
Approach- Create the basic webpage structure using HTML, including input field and list elements for autocomplete.
- Apply CSS styles to enhance the visual appearance of the page, including the navbar, input field, and autocomplete dropdown.
- Integrate JavaScript to handle autocomplete functionality, listening for user input.
- Implement logic to filter and display autocomplete suggestions based on user input.
- Manage user interactions, such as selecting suggestions and updating the input field accordingly.
Example: The example below shows how to create an Autocomplete using CSS.
