Good, then what’s stopping browsers from shipping these standard controls? It’s ridiculous that everyone needs to invent or depend on large amounts of JS to get anything decent that goes beyond a simple textarea.

Browsers could start by simply improving the controls they do ship with, such has date pickers and selects. They’re all shit. Slightly more complex perhaps would be a combobox. LMAO, we don’t even have comboboxes.

And if you really want to get fancy, rich-text textareas that return standardized, semantic HTML. Also, decent tables with sorting/filtering wouldn’t go amiss.

Standardize some HTMX features into HTML while you’re at it, you’ve got a full-blown revolution.
