Combobox #33

Closed evanmoore closed 8 years ago

The dev tool is reporting "Required ARIA child role not present: textbox" when we use a combobox. However, we are using the combobox correctly.

I also tested the dev tools on this accessibility website and it also throws the same error. http://oaa-accessibility.org/example/10/

Please investigate and resolve. let me know if you have any questions.

It seems to me there is a slight problem in the spec here. The textbox rule is required to be owned by the combobox element. However even in the example in ARIA itself showing how to do it there is no element which has the role of textbox, either explicitly or implicitly. I think the best thing to do here would be to set the textbox as an optional child. WDYT?

@WilcoFiers could you raise an issue in the ARIA spec project to have this clarified and in the interim, I agree with your solution

I'm going to close this issue since it's related to axe-firefox-devtools. See issue https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core/issues/160.
