Actual Results

There is a combobox that is not correctly programmatically defined with appropriate roles and properties. The <input > element of the "Parent Page" combobox does not use role="combobox" or aria-activedescendant. As well, the child listbox does not use role="listbox", role="option" and aria-selected attributes.

This may particularly  disadvantage the users of a screen reader. That the combobox is not correctly programmatically defined may confuse or mislead them about the functionality of the form field.

Expected Results

Make sure that the combobox components are programmatically determined. In this scenario, we would recommend you to create a combobox with appropriate ARIA roles and properties. On the combobox, use role="combobox". Where possible, expand a native <input>. Make sure that the <input> is labelled. This can be done with <label> or aria-labelledby. Use aria-expanded to differentiate when the listbox is expanded and collapsed. As well, use aria-activedescendant to programmatically determine the active option. This attribute uses the id of the active option. On the listbox, use role="listbox". Where possible, expand a list container such as <ul>. On the options, use role="option". Where possible, expand <li>. As well, use aria-selected to differentiate of the active and inactive options. For more information, you can refer " https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/"

Code Snippet

<label for="ex">Parent page</label>
<input id="ex" type="search" role="combobox" aria-activedescendant="01" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="results" aria-haspopup="listbox" ...>
<ul id="results" role="listbox" aria-label="Page list">
<li id="01" role="option" aria-selected="true">...</li>
<li id="02" role="option">...</li>
...
</ul>

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
