Hi, > What exactly has to be in keyboard navigation - especially in a pop-up dialogue. > I, as a screen reader user, am of the opinion that only interaction elements > have to be keyboard navigateable and my colleague is of the opinion that also > the text in a dialogue box as well as text in general has to be in the tab-order. In general, only active elements must be in focus order, i.e. links, form elements and widgets. There may be exceptions in an application (role="application"), where there is no reading mode for screen readers. Text must then either be associated with active elements with aria-labelledby/aria-describedby or can be placed in focus order. If your popup has forms and focus is within a form element there may be usability issues with screen readers. Typically, Esc is used to leave editing mode in a screen reader, and sometimes Esc closes a dialog window as well. Focussing text could be a solution there.
