The results don’t change until you click (or press enter on) a combobox option (aka “menuitem" in the Chrome accessibility tree). I have not altered the behavior of the combobox. At the moment I have a delay only on the text input filter. > > Does system focus remain on the select once the filtering process is complete?

Yes, I mentioned that it is a filter. When I asked about context, there was still some question as to whether the archive listing would be filtered to begin with (e.g., the most recent posts), and whether there would be pagination. So potentially, the displayed content could change significantly, even completely, while at the same time the complete (and partially hidden) set would be reduced. >> Would someone who is more familiar with the intentions behind WCAG definitions please clarify exactly whether “change in context” applies here. >> >> Scenario: A page displays a Wordpress category archive of posts, likely only the most recent 10 or so.The page also includes a select element and a text input for filtering the posts by author. Upon selecting an author or entering text (there is no submit button), the page automatically changes to display (without reloading) the appropriate subset of posts based on the filtering logic. >> >> So I’m looking at SC 3.2.2 and wondering whether it applies to this case. -- Peter Weil Web Developer University Marketing, University of Wisconsin–Madison 608-220-3089
