Notes

  • 1

    HTML select element test: said “click list box”

  • 2

    Didn’t convey the expanded and collapsed states

  • 3

    HTML select element test: Partial support due to the work around needed to activate an option. I was unable to activate an option after double tapping the pop up button. The list was displayed and I could swipe right to navigate options, but double tapping just closed the list and didn’t change the value. Work around: swipe right through the entire page until you reach the open options at the end of the page, then you can navigate and make your selection.

  • 4

    Didn’t convey its name

  • 5

    HTML select element test: Focus was sent back to the select after a choice was made, so the control was announced again with the new value

  • 6

    HTML select element test: implied by the pop up button

  • 7

    HTML select element test: Implied by the pop up button role
