datalist doesn't actually resepct/expose aria-* attributes #382

Closed scottaohara closed 2 years ago

scottaohara commented 2 years ago

Presently the datalist allows for global aria- attributes and any aria- attributes applicable to the listbox role.

In reality no aria-* attributes are respected on the datalist since its rendered ui is completely controlled by the browser.

The datalist attribute allowances should be updated to reflect this reality and simply indicate no ARIA attributes are allowed on this element.

Will it still have the implicit role of listbox?

scottaohara commented 2 years ago

yes. that's the implicit role for the datalist.
