What is a non-modal window?
In contrast, nonmodal (or modeless) dialogs and windows do not disable the main content: showing the dialog box doesn't change the functionality of the user interface. The user can continue interacting with the main content (and perhaps even move the window, minimize it, etc.) while the dialog is open.
Are modals bad for accessibility?
Modals should be used sparingly. Much like alerts, they disrupt the flow of what a user is doing if they cannot control the opening of a modal. If the user can control the opening and closing of the modal with buttons, that is a much better alternative.
What is the difference between a modal and non-modal window?
The main difference lies in the way you can interact with each screen. While a Non-Modal Screen allows users to simply go back to the parent screen, the Modal Screen requires users to complete an action before returning to the main window (“save” in our example) or cancel the current action.
What is non-modal popup?
A non-modal dialog pops up on top of a page, sometimes triggered by the page and sometimes after some user action. The page below is still accessible, but is now often partly covered by the dialog.
