Hello all, Greetings!

Can I manage keyboard focus with aria-live?

For example, if I activate any button in navigation pane whether I can keep
focus on first item in the activated pane with aria-live?

Need your expertise. Thank you.

Thanks,
Venkatesh

Dear Venkatesh,

aria-live is especially used when the content author want the screen reader
user to identify the change that is happened on the page without loosing
the user's current focus. The three possible values polite, assertive and
off (default) of aria-live only *announces* the updated content on
specified portion of the page. Focus mannagement cannot be achieved by
aria-live or any other aria roles, states or properties.

Thanks & Regards
Rakesh
