Remarks

This property applies to live regions in the user interface. If authors know that multiple parts of the same live region need to be loaded, they can set aria-busy to true when the first part is loaded, and then set it to false when the last part is loaded.
Note For cross-browser compatibility, always use the WAI-ARIA attribute syntax to access and modify ARIA properties, for example object.setAttribute("aria-valuenow", newValue).
