Setting hidden datalist option values

by

You can use data-value and jquery to make your value hidden.

e.g:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#submit').click(function()
    {
        var value = $('#selected').val();
        alert($('#browsers [value="' + value + '"]').data('value'));
    });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<input id="selected" list="browsers" name="browser">
<datalist id="browsers">
    <option data-value="1" value="InternetExplorer"></option>
    <option data-value="2" value="Firefox"></option>
    <option data-value="3" value="Chrome"></option>

</datalist>
<input id="submit" type="submit">
