Re: JAWS/IE 11 not announcing aria-live regions?

Sorry I misspoke when I said aggressive I have assertive.

My particular construct is:
<div>
<div aria-live="assertive">
<span id="mytext"></span>
</div>
</div>

Then after the page is loaded when something occurs, I assign a value to the span element using javascript.

I am actually using the oracle java extention toolkit to do the javascript stuff, so this isn't exactly the code, but close enough.
