[NFBCS] JAWS DOM changes in web apps?

[Ty Littlefield]

Hi all,

I've been working on some frontend code at work lately, and one of the 
issues I'm running into is that when content is changed on a page (for 
example in a react app where a component refreshes), JAWS does not 
always see these changes. This is a particular problem in a component 
with a live region, because JAWS will sometimes re-read the prior 
content in the live region rather than the most recent.

In general, what notifies JAWS of a DOM change? More specifically, are 
there any tips or tricks for handling this properly from within 
react/other applications like this that are component based? Generally 
this doesn't seem to be an issue, but we seem to have a pattern in play 
that is causing problems with JAWS (NVDA is perfectly fine).

Thanks,
