Re: [orca-list] Error announcing live region changes

[Scott Haeger <scott bashautomation com>]

Hey Steve. Thanks for your input. Unfortunately I don't think live 
regions are going to be a solution for the verizon login error. A good 
example of live regions in the wild is finance.google.com. Each of the 
stocks and markets on that page are updated without having a page load. 
Orca will announce these changes as they occur. This is very different 
from what I see on verizon where the entire page is refreshed.

Scott

ps. svn and updating with patches is quite easy. Drop me a private email 
if you are interested in learning how.
