ARIA Live Regions

How do you point users to content or AJAX updates?

Should you?

Code

  • aria-live="off"
  • aria-live="polite"
  • aria-live="assertive"

More Information

  • aria-busy
  • aria-atomic
  • aria-relevant - additions, removals, text, or all
  • aria-controls
  • Special live regions: alert (important), status (not important), timer (always changing), marquee (same as aria-live="polite"), and log (updates added to the bottom)
