About this feature

This attribute indicates the availability and type of interactive popup element, such as menu or dialog.

Aria 1.0 values are well supported, such as true, false, and menu (which is the same as true). New values such as dialog, grid, listbox, and tree are not supported. This lack of support might cause significant issues for screen reader users. For example, aria-haspopup="listbox" being announced as aria-haspopup="menu" could lead users to think that something the behaves like a native <select> (listbox) is a menu.

Notes:

Since ARIA 1.1, the "true" value must be conveyed as the "menu" value. In ARIA 1.0, the "true" value simply conveys that a popup is available (not the type of popup). If applied to an ARIA 1.0 combobox, this should pass if the screen reader conveys that there is a popup.
