Q

aria-atomic

A

Property. Indicates to ATs the scope with which to communicate to the user a change in a live region.
- When a live region changes, UAs SHOULD traverse the tree to find the nearest ancestor with aria-atomic="true" to establish the scope of change, or communicate only the changed node itself when aria-atomic is set to false or not explicitly set on any ancestor.
- false (default): ATs will present only the changed node(s).
- true: ATs will present the entire changed region as a whole

aria-autocomplete

A

Property. Describes the type of interaction model a textbox, searchbox, or combobox employs when dynamically helping users complete text input.
