I don't think that aria is actually what you need here. For Edge/Chrome, I
would have expect that a name or value change event would occur in UIA for
these elements.
Aria is good for sliders and for "live" regions where you the web developer
wants something w/o focus to be announced to the user even if it is not
highlighted or in focus. Examples would be
Alerts, error messages or chat conversations. Google Mail uses this to tell you
that you successfully deleted a message and you can undo this.
Best wishes,

Hi,
These changes are dynamic.
I'll see if I can get them to add aria.
Thanks,
Sean.

It's not clear to me if you're saying these changes are dynamic or checking
each time you log in?
For dynamic changes, ARIA is needed, which you either need to get the website
to add it, or do some serious hacking with GreaseMonkey.
For checking for changes between logins, that is not something JAWS can do.
At least not natively, and scripting it seems like it'd be very challenging.
That would be better suited for a full programming language such as Python
and writing a scraper.
If you really want to do that, google web scrapers.

Subject: [jawsscripts] What is the easiest way of detecting updates to a

Hi all,
I have a website I am a member of that has a series of tables in which
information changes.
I am interested in knowing what the easiest way of finding out when updates
are made to a specific named collumn in any of the tables that exist on the
page would be.
When indicating an update has occurred in either speech or braille, I need
to gather information from the table in which the update has taken place.
Does JAWS have anything to do this?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean.
