Re: what roles will make a pop up dialog work

Also, as a quick note regarding aria-hidden, there are some changes to be aware of for the future.

When using aria-hidden="false" on a container that includes style="none", JAWS will now expose this to users even though it is
visually hidden from sighted users.

This is especially important to keep in mind for dynamic tab panels, dialogs, popups, menus, and any other form of dynamic content
if aria-hidden is used incorrectly.
