Is the tag and tag same?

1.	Is the tag and tag same?
Answer» No. The &LT;datalist> tag and <select> tag are different. In the case of <select> tag a user will have to choose from a LIST of options, whereas <datalist> when used ALONG with the <input> tag provides a suggestion that the user selects one of the options given or can ENTER some ENTIRELY different value.
