Inconsistent handling of role=alert content in VOX #134

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have an info panel, which I am showing in response to a CSS selector using 
javascript. This is triggered on a mouse over, and for accessibility via a 
click.

The info panel has a role of alert to trigger screen readers.
The code that shows the panel is identical for both the click handler and the 
mouse over handler.

The alert is correctly read in response to the mouse event, but using the 
keyboard to trigger the click handler does not result in the alert being read.

The attached example is here:
