# Aria Atomic Bug

 * [@takayukister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/), there appears
   to be a bug with the line that reads:
 * `<div class="screen-reader-response" role="alert" aria-live="polite" style="z-
   index: 2147483646;"></div>`
 * According to an accessibility checker:
 * > The page contains an error container made with the WAI-ARIA role=”alert” attribute,
   > but it does not contain a WAI-ARIA attribute that will make sure all assistive
   > technologies can read the error message after more than one invalid submission.
   > To make sure that all assistive technologies will read the error message after
   > more than one invalid submission, you need to add the WAI-ARIA attribute aria-
   > atomic=”true” to the error container tag.
 * Can this ARIA tag be added to the next version of CF7, or if that’s not possible,
   is there a way to manually add this without directly editing the plugin?

 * It also applies to this line too:
 * `<div class="wpcf7-response-output" role="alert" aria-hidden="true" style="">
   </div>`

 * Thanks for the information. I’ll consider using the `aria-atomic` attribute in
   the next major update of the plugin.
