The ariaModal
property of the Element
interface reflects the value of the aria-modal
attribute, which indicates whether an element is modal when displayed. Applying the aria-modal
property to an element with role="dialog"
replaces the technique of using aria-hidden on the background for informing assistive technologies that content outside a dialog is inert.
Element.ariaModal
Value
A DOMString
with one of the following values:
-
"true"
-
The element is modal.
-
"false"
-
The element is not modal.
Examples
In this example the aria-modal
attribute on the element with an ID of address-modal
is set to "true" indicating that this is a modal dialog. Using ariaModal
we update the value to "false".
<div role="dialog" id="address-modal" aria-labelledby="dialog1Title" aria-describedby="dialog1Desc" aria-modal="true"></div>
let el = document.getElementById('address-modal'); console.log(el.ariaModal); // "true" el.ariaModal = "false" console.log(el.ariaModal); // "false"
