I believe it is announced as soon as you add it to the DOM and make it visible. I don’t have a computer near me to test it, but that’s what I remember when testing this stuff out a few years ago.


I’ve had to add a bunch of js to support this in the past when accessibility reports come back saying there’s no announce, mainly around css only dropdown navs.


Do you remember which reader software it was?


I'm not the person you're replying to but we test with NVDA, and we did have problems with some CSS-only solutions.


I don’t, it was a while ago and we just use js now for that sorta stuff even if it’s only for toggling aria attributes.
