Thanks for the reply Dan.
I'm not hiding anything that's on screen though. This feedback message is only intended for screen reader users.

Mark:
I'm pretty sure automatically closing/hiding it is a violation. I'd suggest including an option for the user to close it - on user interaction changing it to display:none. That would work for all users.

Hi,
Suppose I have a <span role="alert"> and I put some content into it, say "record deleted". What would you say is the best way to prevent a screen reader from reading this again by coming across it while browsing?
1. Remove the content after a few seconds
2. Put it somewhere that the screen reader can't reach
3. Add aria-hidden="true"
4. Something else
Thanks,
Mark
