Hi, We are using JAWS screen reader and It's not announcing the options in the drop down when we navigate through, using the down arrow in keyboard. We tried with "arial-label" in "li" tag but it didn't work.

Would you please help if there is any fix for this?

Definitely issues here when you look at the demo with WAVE.

@MswathiM Adding aria attributes on the resulting elements should solve the issue.
Could you show me what you tried and didn't work @MswathiM ?

ARIA can work, but it can actually make it worse. Basic semantic HTML is always a better bet.

Remember the first rule of ARIA - "Don't use ARIA, use native HTML instead"
