This is very frustrating to try to figure out what will work in what browsers. Again, using NVDA, Example A on this page (http://www.accessibleculture.org/articles/2011/02/aria-alert/) does NOT read the alert in IE9. It is in a <p> tag.
It does get read in Firefox 20.
We are under pressure to get this app into production and we cannot seem to get the form validation errors to announce in NVDA (the only screen reader we have)
