Re: Examples of comboboxes supporting multiple selected options

Hi Bryan,

I tried the whatsock version out in both Chrome and Safari using Voiceover,
but while the component communicated open state, moving through suggestions
and selecting them did not work. Is this due to poor support by VO, the
browsers, or a combination of both?

I tried
http://whatsock.com/tsg/Coding%20Arena/ARIA%20Comboboxes/ARIA%20Comboboxes%20(Native%20Inputs,%20Multiselect%20Editable%20with%20Substring%20Match)/demo.htm
as well but ran into the same issue. The example you linked to does list
the selected values on the page, but these can't be cleared out without
searching for them in the list first.

The combobox style most commonly used is like the "Contributors (async)"
example on https://jedwatson.github.io/react-select/

Cheers,

Sean
