Motivation
I want to use native
dialog
elements. A common pattern for modal dialogs is dismissing them by clicking on the backdrop pseudo-element. This is achieved by assigning a click event handler to the dialog itself. Svelte is perfect for this task. Except Svelte raises a warning (a11y_no_noninteractive_element_interactions
) about adding a click event handler to the dialog element, because Svelte treats it as non-interactive. This is what I want to change.Solution
Svelte considers elements non-interactive if they don’t have a
widget
superclass and their roles are nottoolbar
,tabpanel
,cell
, orgeneric
. The dialog-related roles aredialog
andalertdialog
, both of them having a superclasswindow
. Instead of adding the two roles to the exceptions list, I think it makes more sense to also treat the window subclasses as interactive. After all, windows are interactive. If you prefer, however, I could modify the exceptions instead.
