Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the link!

By going through the link, I understood that there is neither a name nor the description for dialog, and Focus is perfectly set to it. As far as ARIA tags for the same is concerned, I've been learning of it gradually since the day I joined this forum; therefore, I can't comment on these confidently. All I know that JAWS does not read out the complete information in it automatically. I wanted it to be reported as a miner bug actually.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Regarding a dialog box

Hi,
Does the element with role=dialog also include aria-label or aria-labelledby plus aria-describedby, and is focus moved inside of the dialog container when rendered?

All of these are required to set the Name of the dialog plus the Description, and focusing into the dialog should cause these to be announced.

These attributes are mapped out here for reference:

All the best,
Bryan
