What is the term for pop up window?
The window that "pops up" when you select a function from a menu is officially known as a "dialog box." The first popups were DOS terminate and stay resident programs in the 1980s (see TSR). See popup menu.
Why are pop-ups bad for accessibility?
The links that Popups use to open a new window containing Popup content present an accessibility obstacle for certain users because some browser and screen-reader configurations do not support content that is displayed in separate windows.
What is the difference between popup and modal?
Modals, like pop-ups, are components that pop up on a user's screen. The key difference, however, is that the user would have initiated the action as part of their journey. Modals are used for specific workflows such as adding users, deleting content, sharing content, adding content, and more.
