Alert not compatible with assistive technologies #640

The alert contents aren't being read out to screen readers upon being displayed. Tested with ChromeVox and Narrator on Windows (don't have a copy of JAWS installed to test at the moment).

The dialog already traps user focus and allows for standard keyboard navigation, which is a good thing. At the very least the alertdialog role needs to be added to the generated HTML of the alert, along with an aria-describedby attribute pointing at the element that contains the message inside the dialog.

It shouldn't be hard to developers make Sweet Alert accessible. Just some aria and javascript, and it's done. This is the main reason why I don't want to use this while developing.
