Support inspection of non-focusable structures such as dialog element or ARIA role dialog
When constructed correctly the dialog container itself will likely not have a tabindex -1, 0 or set -- this rules out use of the focusable elements module in ANDI for inspecting the dialog structure. It would be great to have something that supports inspection of other structures like this.
Thank you for the idea. sANDI can be used to test most non-focusable structures with important semantics. However, role=dialog slips through the cracks since it's not technically a landmark region. Can you name any other structures that would be helpful to inspect?
It depends on whether we are talking just about native HTML widgets or ones with ARIA roles. If you consider that ARIA roles are covered by the structure module then the below is out of scope -- however if you don't then whether the structure implements aria-activedescendant or roving tabindex is key. For example, it's possible with roving tabindex that a tablist or toolbar would not have a tabindex on the container but only on the contained elements. Other structures that likely would not include a tabindex include a alertdialog, named regions, etc. regions don't seem to be included under structures but are sometimes used for dialogs. Thank you for taking the time to discuss this.
