 * We’re having issues with being able to tab through the modal content for accessibility.
   Am I missing something or is this a known shortcoming of the plugin?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Faccessibility-45%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Well, I guess it’s known now. 🙂
 * I’ll look into that soon, though my schedule is slammed for the foreseeable future
   with everything going on. I’m responsible for keeping a ton of people connected
   from a distance.

 * I have looked into this, and I’m exploring the possibility of fixing it, but 
   the issue is in a utility I use to present the dialog. I’ve reached out to the
   author of that utility to see if they can help. I’ll let you know what I find
   out.

 * Hi Curtis, any update on this? This is for a credit union that uses your plugin,
   and they are especially concerned with accessibility as in they HAVE to be in
   compliance. If you don’t think it’s going to happen please let me know as soon
   as you can so we can make other arrangements.

 * Well, I really do want to address this, but it’s really out of my hands at the
   moment.
 * I use an external library for the modal window, and I have not heard back from
   the author of that library.
 * I will renew contact again and see if I have any better luck, but if time is 
   of the essence, I’d recommend that you find a different solution.
 * I wish I had a different answer for you.
 * I hope you find the right solution for your client.

 * Hello … Any luck on this [@tincabin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tincabin/)?
 * Have the same situation. Wondering if you found another solution of a fix.
 * Thank you 🙂

 * Hi [@sbernado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbernado/),
 * No, not yet, and it looks like the topic has kind of died here. We did try Traction
   External Links Speed Bump ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/traction-external-links-speed-bump/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/traction-external-links-speed-bump/))
   with similar issues. Humaan ([https://humaan.com/modaal/](https://humaan.com/modaal/))
   claims they have an accessible modal “Modaal” (and there’s an attempt at a plugin
   on Github), but it appears to have been abandoned years ago. This client is running
   a Divi theme, so I think our next shot will be some experimenting with Divi’s
   Overlays plugin. If not that…I guess we’re rolling custom. The issue isn’t going
   away because our client requires compliance (credit union).
 * Good luck to you, and feel free to keep in touch on progress. I’ll do the same.

 * Hi [@tincabin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tincabin/) – Thank you for
   the speedy response! You’re awesome 😀
 * I am using Divi too. and for some reason it now appears to be working. Even in
   the Chrome Inspector, it shows the modal as being accessible. The only thing 
   is the keyboard defaults to the “Cancel” button, versus “Ok”, so the user has
   to SHIFT+Tab to get there.
 * I think the reason I thought it failed was I hit tab multiple times, and it almost
   appears to cache the number of tabs. e.g. I hit tab 3 times, I have to hit SHIFT
   +Tab 4 times to get to the OK button.
 * I am also using the Divi Accessibility plugin too – it helps a lot with making
   Divi compliant.
 * Hope that helps! Thanks again 🙂 – scott

 * Hey [@tincabin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tincabin/) and [@sbernado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbernado/)!
   I was thinking about this the other day when I did the last update. I’ve left
   messages at GitHub and the server where the jAlert support is supposed to be 
   and have had no answer. I’m planning on switching out the dialog component for
   the next version upgrade I do. Do you think SweetAlert2 ([https://github.com/sweetalert2/sweetalert2](https://github.com/sweetalert2/sweetalert2))
   would fix the compliance issues?
 * It seems that they have been addressing accessibility for a while.
    [https://github.com/sweetalert2/sweetalert2/issues?q=accessibility](https://github.com/sweetalert2/sweetalert2/issues?q=accessibility)
 * If you think that will solve the problem, I’ll work on integrating that for version
   1.8.

 * Hi [@cvscvstechcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cvscvstechcom/)! Thank
   you for jumping in. I am not a developer, but from what I’ve read at SweetAlert2,
   it looks like accessibility is a priority. Nice find. That looks like a winner
   to me 🙂
 * And a BIG THANK YOU to YOU for all of your work, generosity and care. You are
   appreciated! Thank you for being awesome! – scott
