Form Errors w/ ARIA Alert Help

for

I'm hoping I can get some help here. I'm trying to trigger an ARIA alert on
form errors w/ the business requirement that the first errored input needs
to get focus. Problem is, errors come back after form submission (i.e. no
JS error handling). The only way I was able to get this to work cross
browser is the ugly implementation below:

Does anyone know of a better way to do this? I really hate showing then
hiding the errors then sticking a random element inside all after a
settimeout.

Thanks all!
