v1.0.0Choose polite vs assertive, atomic, relevant — emit a working live-region template.
ARIA Live Region HTML
<!-- Static live region — always present in DOM, update content dynamically -->
<div
role="status"
aria-live="polite"
aria-atomic="true"
aria-relevant="additions text"
class="sr-only"
id="live-region"
></div>
<!-- CSS: visually hidden but readable by screen readers -->
<style>
.sr-only {
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
height: 1px;
padding: 0;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
white-space: nowrap;
border: 0;
}
</style>
// JavaScript: announce messages
function announce(message: string) {
const region = document.getElementById("live-region");
if (!region) return;
region.textContent = ""; // clear first (ensures announcement)
requestAnimationFrame(() => { region.textContent = message; });
}
// Usage:
announce("3 results found");
announce("Form submitted successfully");
