Note that we're discussing select-only comboboxes for this demo, which don't work on macOS Safari plus VO. E.g.: https://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/examples/combobox/combobox-select-only.html In other words, the ARIA version of a native HTML select.

Also, for a list of three items, it may not convey the reasons for the criticality of such a component being done correctly. A list of states would at least provide a large enough list where things like first letter navigation, type ahead, and so forth are critical e.g. I just type ‘N’ followed by ‘O’ to land on North Carolina in such lists instead of arrowing dozens of times. When they are broken, I can’t do that, so it quite literally takes orders of magnitude more time to complete that micro-task. > > > > Important to note that I’m still describing a listbox above. For it to be a combobox, we would want editing to occur within the field along with iteration e.g. the address bar in your browser is a combobox, as are search fields with autocomplete, and so forth. > > > > >
