SCR37 replacement

Hi everyone,

Last week we had a discussion about replacing SCR37, a technique to create a custom dialog:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/client-side-script/SCR37.html

It is referenced from 2.4.3 Focus Order, as a sufficient technique under “Changing a Web page dynamically”.

The current technique is old and does not follow modern best practices (e.g. it is asking that dialogs be ‘next’ in the tab order, rather than focus is moved). It is also possible to achieve the same thing with HTML, so the proposal was to change it to an HTML technique:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/3024/<https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/3024/files>

A couple of people wanted to understand the context better, and/or thought it was going beyond the requirements of the SC.

NB: Sufficient techniques can go beyond what is required by an SC. They are one way of fulfilling the SC, there can be others.

The preview of the technique is here:
https://raw.githack.com/w3c/wcag/re-write-scr37-as-html-technique/techniques/html/H-creating-dialogs-with-the-html-dialog-element.html

Does anyone have move specific things that we could change to clear objections?

Kind regards,

-Alastair
