I think for aria-live to pick up a change, it has to be on an element that is part of the dom on load. So if you had a div that was part of the dom on load and it had aria-live on it, when you injected the search results table into that div it should read out.

Subject: [WebAIM] search results not being announced

Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there in this helpful community and help us figure out why the search results are not being announced on this page<http://devapps.sbctc.edu/TechPrepV2/SearchArticulations>;. There are four form elements to create the query, but just using the Search button will bring back guaranteed results. However they aren't announced. We are trying both area-live="assertive" and aria-atomic="true" and still no announcement that there are results now displayed on the page.

Any guidance appreciated.
