Hi @lukewarlow. Thank you for your patience. We feel that consistency is the top priority here: if `select.showPicker()` and `input.showPicker()` do not behave consistently, this could create worse accessibility issues, not to mention DX. We note there's ongoing discussion in whatwg/html#9757 as to if the control, or picker, should be focused by default, which perhaps indicates that the behavior of `input.showPicker()` can still be changed? It's important to have a clear idea of the expected use cases. Are there any use cases that *require* the control/picker to not be focused? How easy the default behavior is to escape is also a factor. If the picker is focused by default, can authors get the alternate behavior by running `input.blur()`? If the picker is *not* followed by default, can authors get the other behavior by running `input.focus()`? We suggest that you talk with the Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) WG to arrive at some guidance for authors that could be incorporated into the spec as a note. Looking forward to your response, especially around use cases. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/900#issuecomment-1889327793 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
