What's the problem with an async validation error added to aria-describedby after blur?
- 1The field will lose focus each time its description is changed
- 2
aria-describedbycan't reference text that's added after load - 3The description changed silently; announce it in a live region
Show the answer
Correct answer: The description changed silently; announce it in a live region
Explanation
Descriptions are read when focus enters the field. If the user has moved on, they miss it, so add a status message or summary.
