Folks, especially Alan. See https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_datalist.asp in html to retrieve the value we need to use var x = document.createElement("DATALIST");
Then also look at https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_details.asp var x = document.getElementById("myDetails"); you can see that if we could use a tiddlywiki method to define or access such elements a world of html5 features would become available to us.
