Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the aria-modal attribute: convey the presence of aria-modal=true - applied to the dialog role

This expectation is applied to the dialog role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-modal attribute feature.

Rationale:

Users need to be aware that other content is obscured by the modal.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

Screen readers might convey the modal state when entering the modal
Screen readers might imply the modal state by restricting reading and navigation to the modal content

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the aria-modal attribute: limit reading to children of aria-modal=true - applied to the dialog role

This expectation is applied to the dialog role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-modal attribute feature.

Rationale:

Users should not be able to access content outside of the modal. However, AT are not required to implement this functionality per the ARIA spec, and authors may implement this on their own.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: SHOULD
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the aria-modal attribute: remove outside content from navigational shortcuts when aria-modal=true - applied to the dialog role

This expectation is applied to the dialog role. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-modal attribute feature.

Rationale:

Users should not be able to access content outside of the modal. However, AT are not required to implement this functionality per the ARIA spec, and authors may implement this on their own.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: SHOULD
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

Screen readers must not allow allow users to jump to the next element type if that element is outside of the modal
Screen readers must not include outside content in the list of elements

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the dialog role: convey its role

This expectation is from the dialog role feature.

Rationale:

Users must be made aware of the dialog context.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce an element as something like "<name>, <role>"
A screen reader might imply the role by the presence of certain context roles
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "click, <role>".
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "show numbers", and interactive roles will be flagged with numbers.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the dialog role: convey the boundaries of the dialog

This expectation is from the dialog role feature.

Rationale:

Users need to know when they enter and exit a dialog.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

Screen readers might announce something like "entering dialog" or "leaving dialog".
Screen readers might imply the boundary by obscuring outside content when aria-modal=true is also present.

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
