There is only one entry for combobox here. I wonder if this is correct, because since ARIA 1.2 a combobox can be used for two different element types:

  • at input, then it is a combined input field with the possibility of free text input and behaves like an input with list attribute.
  • at another allowed element which is not an input (e.g. div). Then no text input is allowed and it behaves like a select without multiple attribute and with size=1.

AT like screen readers distinguish these elements. They are output with different roles and operating instructions.

I think we need to adapt the mapping here to reflect the changes in ARIA 1.2

This applies analogously to the spinbutton role, which can be used at an input field (spinbutton with text input) and at a div (spinbutton without text input)

Once this has been adjusted here, HTML AAM must also be updated accordingly
