I'm a bit lost on this with html5 -

The datasrc attribute on the select element is obsolete. Use script and a mechanism such as XMLHttpRequest to populate the page dynamically..

Does this mean that I will have to change everything into a ajax format?

I thought that this was just for IE5? I believe this was dropped in XHTML 1.0
Did it ever work in other browsers for you?
Can you give an example of how you're using it?

<form name="xx" action="xxxxx.php" method="get">



      <select name="xx1"  class="xxxcontain" id="xsearch" datasrc="xxxt.php" >
      </select>

     <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Find" />

</form>

Does it actually work? I could only get it to work in IE - which is relatively pointless unless you're using an intranet and yo're forced to use IE.
