Roles and attributes
The list below will help you to keep in mind the necessary roles and attributes to make our components fully accessible in the particular cases in your interfaces.
| Attribute | Element | Usage |
|---|---|---|
aria-live="polite" | Implicit on div | Any region which receives updates that are important for the user to receive, but not so rapid as to be annoying, should receive this attribute. The screen reader will speak changes whenever the user is idle. |
