Item Applied to Description
aria-labelledby="[id]" .s-toast Used to reference the alert message within the dialog. If you are using .s-toast, this must be applied. (Source)
aria-hidden="[state]" .s-toast Informs assistive technologies (such as screen readers) if they should ignore the element. When applied to .s-toast, Stacks will use this attribute to show or hide the toast. (Source)
aria-label="[text]" .s-btn Labels the element for assistive technologies (such as screen readers). This should be used on any button that does not contain text content. (Source)
role="alert" .s-notice A form of live region which contains important, usually time-sensitive, information. Elements with an alert role have an implicit aria-live value of assertive and implicit aria-atomic value of true. (Source)
role="alertdialog" .s-toast The wrapping content area of an alert. Elements with the alertdialog role must use the aria-describedby attribute to reference the alert message within the dialog. (Source)
role="status" .s-notice A form of live region which contains advisory information but isn't important enough to justify an alert role. Elements with a status role have an implicit aria-live value of polite and implicit aria-atomic value of true. If the element controlling the status appears in a different area of the page, you must make the relationship explicit with the aria-controls attribute. (Source)

Floating notices, but aligned to the top and center of the page and they disappear after a set time. Visibility is changed with animation by toggling between aria-hidden="true" and aria-hidden="false". When including buttons, you can apply .s-notice--btn to buttons to apply a toast-specific color.

<div class="s-toast" aria-hidden="true" role="alertdialog" aria-labelledby="notice-message">
<aside class="s-notice s-notice__success p8 pl16">
