How should I ARIA-decorate my control?

I have a control that's almost exactly the same as one at this site: http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen. Specifically, the "Multiple Select" control under the "Selected and Disabled Support" section.

I can't work out what ARIA roles to use with it. It's kind of a listbox in its function, but you can't move up and down the list, using space to select things. It's also not a combobox because you can't type in arbitrary new values (although that might come later).

Would welcome some help with this, as I'm keen to make it as accessible as possible.

A quick look would be:

  • the main box would need to be a listbox
  • the elements within that need to be option
  • aria-haspopup="true" needs to be added when the drop down appears I think.
  • aria-multiselecta1ble="true" needs to be set
