Re: Modal Dialog Content Not Being Read

IE11 doesn't support aria-hidden? Actually it has been supported for a long time in both JAWS and NVDA.



I just tested this and it works correctly using the following modals:



1. Using a named region as the dialog container:

2. Using role=dialog plus aria-modal at:

I still don't like the role=dialog version (#2) because of how badly it works in NVDA in IE11, because they still insist on enforcing Applications Mode for dialogs. But please test the difference for yourself.



All the best,

Bryan
