Digital Hall of Fame ARIA-Multiselectable Audit for Filter Lists
A digital hall of fame ARIA-multiselectable audit is a structured review confirming that every filter list on your recognition platform that allows visitors to select more than one sport, class year, or award category at a time carries aria-multiselectable="true" on its container element—and that each individual option inside that container carries an aria-selected value of "true" or "false" reflecting its current state. Without this attribute, a visitor using JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, or TalkBack can open a sport filter list, navigate through Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Volleyball options, and never hear that multiple simultaneous selections are possible. The short answer for school administrators, athletic directors, IT teams, and recognition-program owners: identify every listbox, grid, or tree component on your hall of fame platform that supports multi-item selection; inspect each container in browser DevTools to confirm aria-multiselectable="true" is present; verify that every child option carries aria-selected="true" or "false" matching its current selection state; confirm that selecting or deselecting an option updates both its own aria-selected value and any live result count without resetting other selected options; and verify the full interaction with NVDA or VoiceOver before each induction season or major platform update.
