Associative array - key value pairs.

[lordspace]

is it possible to have key value pairs?

<select name="country_code">
   <option value="ca">Canada</option>
</select>

I was wondering this as well!
Solved it with a "dirty" workaround by comparing the user-defined value with a value of my array.

#16774 implements this functionality. It's been open a while though but you could use it directly from source if you need it.

To everyone interested in differentiating value from displayed text, aka key/value feature, aka array of objects feature.

The code is ready and it's almost 100% backward compatible. To ensure everything working fine for you we need your help with testing it in the wild before it's released. See this PR: Separate label/value for each suggestion in list

[vlazar]

Separate label/value is landed #16866
It is also possible to initialize list with separate label/value via <datalist> or <ul>.

Read about different label and value at the end of Basic usage section and about new data method at the end of Extend section.
