Re: [orca-list] Live regions from inactive tabs now disabled in Orca master

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,

So called aria live regions are specially marked parts of a web page 
with some properties added that communicate to screen readers when and 
how to report changes within such a region.
In other words it's one of the building blocks web app authors are 
getting from browser vs AT vendors for free.
Try out this example page for a test if you like:

Greetings
