ARIA live regions

Five regions with different live settings, updating from the same source. Only the wiring differs, so the difference in what gets announced is attributable to the attribute rather than to the content. SAMPLE wording only.

aria-live="polite"

Polite: SAMPLE update 0, recorded at position 0

aria-live="assertive"

Assertive: SAMPLE announcement 0

aria-live="off"

Off: SAMPLE update 0, recorded at position 0

aria-live="polite" with aria-atomic

Atomic: SAMPLE update 0, recorded at position 0

aria-busy, toggling every update

Busy — updates should be held back.

Status element (implicit live region): SAMPLE value 0
