Re: Usability of ARIA combobox

Hello,
At present the combobox 1.1 design pattern is not sufficiently supported by browsers and ATs to be usable on public facing websites. People should not be using that widget pattern as a guide for desirable screen reader behavior until it is. Only the ARIA 1.0 combobox design pattern is widely supported enough to be used on public sites.

This is fully documented plus relevant instructions to implement at

Best wishes,
Bryan
