Error · aria-dialog-name
Pop-up windows without a name
Lighthouse / axe call it: ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name · Elements with role="dialog" or role="alertdialog" do not have accessible names
When a pop-up opens (cart, cookie notice, login) a blind user isn't told what it is.
Who it leaves out: blind people (screen readers)
How to fix it
Give each pop-up a name. Developer task; details below.
In the code
Give the dialog a name: aria-labelledby="id-of-its-heading" or aria-label="…" on the element with role="dialog".
