web - Is the launch of an on-page modal considered a "change of context" when considering WCAG? -


i have accessibility requirement states:

"verify that, upon input within stated ui component, user input not force change of context unless user has been advised through messaging. -- change of context = no change occurs in user agent, viewport, focus of particular element, or content changes impact meaning."

wcag give example of failure "pop-up window". non-developers, thinking on-screen modal perceived pop-up window. else agree?

we literally have dozens of modals on site working on , need make sure before start throwing aria-labels on place.

yes, change of context. in operating systems, communicated users through user of ellipsis (...) @ end of name e.g. button text "save..." can expected popup dialog, whereas button text "save" expected save.

you can use aria-haspopup="true" on button, in combination convention ellipsis convey in accessible manner. http://www.w3.org/tr/wai-aria/states_and_properties#aria-haspopup
