Modal Dialog
A modal dialog is a UI overlay that demands user attention before they can interact with the rest of the page — requiring an accessible implementation that traps focus inside the modal, restores focus on close, communicates its role via aria-role="dialog" or "alertdialog", and supports dismissal via Escape key.
About Modal Dialog
Use the native <dialog> element where possible (HTML living standard). The ARIA Authoring Practices Guide has a complete pattern.
