multi-select

• Multi-select
  • On the discussion of multi-selects and accessibility, I came across this article by Sara Higley on custom ** <select> elements, including multi-select comboboxes (our use case). The pattern that was closest to what we were looking at was the multi-select combobox in part 2 of the article (but thankfully we managed to go with simple checkboxes instead): https://sarahmhigley.com/writing/select-your-poison/
