<!-- Better: use a real <button> element! -->
<!-- Only use role="button" when you cannot change the HTML element -->

<div role="alert" id="error-msg"></div>

<script>
// When injecting an error:
document.getElementById('error-msg').textContent = 'Invalid email address.';
// Screen readers announce this immediately without the user moving focus
// role="alert" implies aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true"
</script>

<div
  role="dialog"
  aria-modal="true"
  aria-labelledby="dialog-title"

<!-- Note: prefer semantic HTML elements over ARIA roles
     Only add role= when using generic divs/spans -->

<div role="status" aria-live="polite" id="cart-status"></div>

<script>
// When item added to cart:
document.getElementById('cart-status').textContent = '3 items in cart';
// Screen reader announces this when it finishes reading current content
// Less urgent than role="alert"
</script>

<section
  role="region"
  aria-labelledby="stats-heading"
>
  <h2 id="stats-heading">Site Statistics</h2>
  <dl>...</dl>
</section>
<!-- role="region" only creates a landmark IF it has an accessible name
     Without aria-label or aria-labelledby, it is not a landmark -->

<form role="search" action="/search">
  <label for="q">Search</label>
  <input type="search" id="q" name="q">
  <button type="submit">Go</button>
</form>
<!-- role="search" landmark: screen readers list it as "Search, search"
     Users jump directly to the search form -->

<!-- Table used for layout (bad practice, but if inherited): -->
<table role="presentation">
  <tr><td>Layout column 1</td><td>Layout column 2</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- role="presentation" removes the table semantics
     Screen reader won't announce it as a table
     Children's semantics are also affected -->
