Modal: User with AT feedback

[bsouster]

Testing the Opening popups through JavaScript modal example.

Tools used

• Dolphin Supernova Magnifier screen reader.
• Jaws screen reader

Issues noted

The users were able to navigate in and out of the modals. However, the use of modals is confusing to low and no vision users. For users relying on screen magnifiers, the expectation is the content can be found and followed along the left side of the screen, therefore the centered modal is difficult to predict and to find. For some users relying on screen readers, modal windows are a completely foreign concept.
