Greetings At a meeting with a big client today we had exhaustive discussions on whether it is a failure if user focus is allowed to go out of a modal dialog, into the address bar of the browser, then back into the modal. The big issue discussed is that no one was able to find a W3C definition of modality. The ARIA Authoring Guide describes expected behavior when navigating a modal dialog using the keyboard, but that specification, though excellent, is not normative. It is not clear to me that allowing user to get to the address bar is a definitely violation of 2.4.3 (I would like to find something that enabled me to definitely call it as such). Apologies if this is off-topic, but is there anywhere in WCAG specs or the html spec where modal is clearly defined with regard to keyboard navigation, something that can be referenced when calling keyboard navigation that enables user to leave a modal, if only for a single tabstop, a WCAG failure? Thanks -Birkir
