Never mind, just tried it in Firefox3 with JAWS10, and it appears to work fine. It's probably that IE7 doesn't work very well with ARIA.

Subject: A question about ARIA?
Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to suppress the repeated announcement of new content using ARIA?
I've been trying the use of ARIA to announce the "Connecting" and "Page is Empty" messages on my page at 
http://gutterstar.net/amazon.php
Which appears to be announced using IE7 and JAWS10 resulting from the ARIA attribute within the relevant Div tags..
Unfortunately though, the same message is repeatedly announced, even though the message is only added once. Any idea why this is happening?
To reproduce, click the Go Forward button to get the "Page is Empty" message, or click one of the product links to get the "Connecting..." message. 

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan
