[html5] Large Datalist

[Tatham Oddie]

You'll need to put it in a variable to access it later.

    var datalist = {
        "ID": "facilities",
        "OPTION": [
            {"LABEL": "St. Johns Hospital, Oxnard", "VALUE": "St. Johns"},
            {"LABEL": "Pleasant Valley, Camarillo", "VALUE": "Pleasant Valley"},
            {"LABEL": "Los Robles Hospital, Thousand Oaks", "VALUE": "Los Robles"}
        ]
    };

-- Tatham
