Technical information
=====================

* Replace a select element by an input with datalist option. That allows
  to set a custom value, or to select an option. (same options as before:
  80 / 200 / 500 / 2000 / unlimited);

* WARNING: 'Datalist' is a HTML5 tag; If your browser is not HTML5
  compliant, the options will not be displayed (but it is possible for
  user to select manually a value);
  See browser Support: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_datalist.asp

* The display of the datalist input can be different depending of the browser.
    * FireFox Display:

    * Chrome Display:

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

* When pressing Esc key, it could be user friendly to return to the previous
  state (before editing the quantity).
