I have a question related to the document "No Keyboard Trap (Level A)" ( https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/no-keyboard-trap.html) There is a sentence: > focus is trapped within the dialog; tabbing from the last control in the dialog *takes focus to the first control* in the dialog. Such behavior differs a bit from <dialog> element, which indeed prevents setting a focus on other page elements, but it's not "looping" it (after the last element, the focus will be moved to the browser controls, i.e the url bar) There was a discussion at WHATWG (https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/8339), should a dialog implementation be aligned with WCAG. The conclusion was: It should be kept as it is (no looping) But now there are some misconceptions. From a developer's point of view, it's hard to say whether the dialog is a valid solution because it offers a different behavior than the one described in WCAG docs. Grzegorz
