Hello List Members,
We continue to struggle with aria-live content being read by our screen readers (we only have NVDA). In this case it is form submission error messages. I'd be grateful if anyone can take a look.

Student Login<http://devapps.sbctc.edu/TechPrepV2/Account/StudentLogin>;

The form requires a username and password. The error message should read "Unable to log in. Please check your user name and password and try again."

Since it is an error message, we are trying aria-live="assertive"

Thanks you,
