ARIA Examples Specific to Alert

for

From: Seth Kane

Does anyone have any examples of ARIA (role=alert) that actually work? I have been playing around with single page experiences and instead of using a JavaScript dialog I want to utilize an inserted <div> tag with error messages. I have gone ahead and tried using the role="alert" with focus and tabindex however none of my tests work in IE7 & Jaws 10 or IE7 & NVDA.

I even tried the examples located at: http://test.cita.illinois.edu/aria/alertdialog/alertdialog1.php and none of those seem to work very well.

Any insight would be great.
