input type='search' implements the search box

If you want to implement a text search function, when input is required, the keyboard Enter button prompt displays "Search". The effect is as follows:

Start~

input type=text cannot achieve this effect. I googled it and found that the type=search added in html5 can do it (but it requires Input type=search is wrapped with a form with action attributes).

        <p>
            </p><p>
                </p>

                                     

                                                           取消         

But type=search will have many default styles and behaviors. The ones encountered during this development are:

• The search history will be displayed in the drop-down box by default;
  

• "x" will automatically pop up when typing. The style of "x" is different on different mobile phones;
  

• The input box on the IOS phone (iphone6 ​​ios10 when tested) is oval.
  

But we want the style to be displayed according to our customized style , and can be unified on each mobile phone.

So after several Google searches, I got the answer:

• Set input autocomplete="off" to remove the pop-up drop-down box;

• Hide the default "x":

input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button{
    display: none;
}

• Set the style for ios and remove the input oval under ios:

    -webkit-appearance: none;

At the same time, don’t forget that if you want to use ajax when submitting a search, you can prevent the default behavior of the form:

container.on('submit', '.input-kw-form', function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
})
