My first question would be do the date pickers in question provide an alternate entry form? If the date can be typed in, and is keyboard accessible for that function, is the calendar portion required to be accessible?

Hello All, Every example of an "accessible" date picker I have looked at online does not treat the datepicker as a modal dialog. Is this because it is not a seen as a modal dialog but rather a specific task based widget? Should the datepicker container <div> take on the same characteristics as a modal such as hiding the background from screen readers when the datepicker calendar is active?
