Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modal dialog | Choose a modal dialog for a short contained task that must temporarily suspend interaction with the page behind it. | Opening the modal moves focus to the best starting element inside the dialog, not to the dimmed page. | Frames modal dialogs as layered content requiring user interaction above the page. |
| Modal for nonblocking content | Flag this anti-pattern when content can be read later, ignored safely, dismissed without consequence, or shown near its object without blocking the rest of the page. | Users can continue the primary task while reading or ignoring nonblocking information. | Frames modal dialogs as layered content requiring user interaction above the page. |
