Why does input data not work correctly with SOTI SURF, but works fine with CHROME or FIREFOX?

 Good Afternoon,

I would like to know why an input data list doesn't actually work correctly and if there is a fix it as it's important for our applications that will be used by our employees on SOTI Surf.

The below HTML is an example that didn't work on SOTI Surf but worked fine in every other browser we use including Chrome on Android, Chrome on Windows and even Firefox.

<input placeholder="search..." type="text" list="searchDropdown" />
<datalist id="searchDropdown">
<option value="test1">Option 1</option>
<option value="test2">Option 2</option>
<option value="test3">Option 3</option>
<option value="test4">Option 4</option>
<option value="test5">Option 5</option>
<option value="test6">Option 6</option>
</datalist>

Hello Daniel,

I would like to follow up on this post and provide you with an update:

The code block was tested with SURF and it works perfectly, attached is the rendering of same in SURF on devices ‘Samsung Tab Android 9’ & ‘Google Pixel Android 12’. 

Please confirm did you face the same issue or something different?

Please try updating ‘webview’ to the latest version and try again, as SURF makes use of ‘WebView’ in background to render websites.

In case above does not help please share screenshots/video to help us in understanding the issue better, also please share the device details (OS,Model, and Make).

Regards,
