Re: Auto-refreshing advertisements

I have another question on this topic. Regardless of whether or not the ad is accessible, should the screen reader user be notified of the ad updating every one minute via aria? My thinking is that if there is a mechanism to pause the advert refresh, then this might be sufficient to inform the SR user that they are refreshable adverts. However, if they miss that pause button...

As always, thanks in anticipation.

Cheers

Barry
