Re: Question about aria-live and abnormal voice over behavior

Hi Ash Ta,
Are you sure it is ARIA Live alerts that is being used for hints?

Depending on the situation, for example, if this is just a simple form with form controls and help text, many people would choose to use “aria-describedby” to provide automatic help text.

Of course, I am not fully aware of your design requirements so I can’t say what your site needs, but aria-describedby is way simpler from an implementation perspective than ARIA Live alerts.

Best of luck,

When i navigate through all the forms via tab key, the hint in the previous form is announced at the current form before the current form hint is announced. I change it to polite. The first two are fixed in announcing the hint. However, the rest still have the same abnormal behavior. Is it voice over issue? Or is it aria-live issue? Or is it due to the nature of javascript thus it changes back to the old coding?
