Thanks all. I've tried so many variations, and this jQuery code works
well in JAWS and NVDA, and hopefully with VoiceOver. I think I'm going
with it.

function throw_error(el, msg) {
$(el).text(msg);
setTimeout(function() {
$(el).fadeOut(function(){
$(el).empty().show();
});
}, 1800);
} //throw_error
