aria-live

Hi,


I have a page that uses tabs. On each tab there are several areas that
load in content via AJAX. If I put aria-live as polite on the container of
these, JAWS just gets overwhelmed as you can imagine and starts re-reading
the content inside the tab from the start several times over. Has anyone
had a similar problem before? Do I need to use aria-busy until each one has
finished? I have a feeling I'm putting the aria-live attribute too far up
the chain.


Thanks,

Dawn
