Research: Alerts and Alertdialogs

Note: This page is to provide examples from different Design Systems for testing. The accessibility of the resources linked below may change over time. The controls may be amazing or not. This is not advocating for the quality of the accessible experience.

An alert is an “assertive live region” that is not required to receive focus. Since they are not required to recieve focus, content authors should not require users to close an alert. User agents will often fire a system alert event for elements with role=”alert”. If the alert requires focus to close it, then the author should use the related role=”alertdialog”.
