Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the aria-activedescendant attribute: convey the referenced element as active - applied to the combobox role

This expectation is applied to the combobox role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-activedescendant attribute feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to be aware of which descendant is currently active

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

When navigating to an element with this attribute, screen readers will also announce the referenced element

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the aria-autocomplete attribute: convey the `list` value - applied to the combobox role

This expectation is applied to the combobox role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-autocomplete attribute feature.

Rationale:

Screen reader users need to be aware that a form control has list autocomplete behavior before they start typing so that the behavior is not unexpected. When used on a combobox, this value should hint to users that the popup contains auto complete suggestions rather than a static set of options.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the aria-controls attribute: convey the presence of the aria-controls attribute - applied to the combobox role

This expectation is applied to the combobox role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-controls attribute feature.

Rationale:

Users need to be aware that an element has aria-controls functionality. If the presence of the attribute is not explicitly conveyed, then users may not be aware of the functionality. However, some screen readers may choose to not convey the presence by default since the controlled element is usually directly after the controlling element in the reading order and easily findable. In these situations, explicitly conveying the presence could be unnecessarily verbose.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: SHOULD
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

When supported, screen readers will often hint that an element controls another element, and may even announce the keyboard shortcut to jump to the controlled element
Most screen readers either do not support this attribute or the setting to convey the presence is turned off by default. This is because in the vast majority of cases, the controlled element is adjacent to the element with aria-controls, and thus announcing the presence is redundant and add extra verbosity.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Notes:

This is not a MUST requirement, because the functionality could still be discoverable via the screen reader's command to jump to the controlled element. If the command fails, the attribute is not present.

Expectation for the aria-expanded attribute: convey change in value - applied to the combobox role

This expectation is applied to the combobox role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-expanded attribute feature.

Rationale:

The user needs to know that the value was successfully changed.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

If the element with aria-expanded has focus when its expanded state changes, the new state value will be announced (either "expanded" or "collapsed"). Some screen readers will re-announce the entire element, including name, role, and other properties and states.

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

This expectation is applied to the input[type="text"] element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the combobox role feature.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST

Examples:

A screen reader might convey the role as something like "combo box"
Voice control software might allow the user to say "click text box" to focus an editable combobox

It could be argued that the combobox role was not conveyed, because the "collapsed" state is a result of aria-expanded rather than the combobox role. However, the absence of an explicit announcement for the combobox role likely will not prevent end users from understanding the combobox behavior of the control because the collapsed state is conveyed along with the text input role.

Expectation for the combobox role: convey the current value - applied to the input[type="text"] element

This expectation is applied to the input[type="text"] element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the combobox role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know the current value of the input.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might convey the value as something like "<role>, <name>, <value>" (order varies by screen reader and settings)

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Notes:

Historically, this has not been a requirement explicitly defined in the ARIA spec. However, native counterparts do this, the value us displayed visually, and ARIA 1.2 (draft) does explicitly state this requirement.

Expectation for the listbox role: convey its role

This expectation is from the listbox role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know how they can interact with the element. Voice control software might use the role to help users activate controls that do not have a visible name.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might explicitly convey the role as something like "list box", "list", or imply it by explicitly conveying "option" roles

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the listbox role: convey its boundaries

This expectation is from the listbox role feature.

Rationale:

The user needs to know when they enter and leave the listbox.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

A screen reader might convey information about the position in the options, such as "4 of 4" to indicate the start and end of the options

Expectation for the option role: convey its role

This expectation is from the option role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to know how they can interact with the element. Voice control software might use the role to help users activate controls that do not have a visible name.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: MUST

Examples:

A screen reader might announce "option" as the role.
A screen reader might not announce a role because the role is implied by the role of a listbox parent.
Voice control software will let the user say something like "move down <n>" or "move up <n>" to select an option.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

History

2020-10-09 Test created
2021-08-07 Added Narrator results for NVDA and JAWS, updated NVDA+Chrome results.
2021-11-10 Updated VoiceOver tests to illustrate a bug where aria-activedescendant is not respected when the combobox input has no value.
2023-08-22 Updated results. Support was largely similar to when it was last tested, except that both VoiceOver for MacOS and Talkback for Android appear to have lost support for options within a listbox.
2025-08-15 Updated NVDA+Edge version.
