What is a non-modal dialog?
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.
What is non-modal?
Not mode oriented. A non-modal function moves from one task to another without switching between official or apparent modes of operation.
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 a dialog?
Dialog (dialogue): A conversation between two people. In a user interface, a dialog is a “conversation” between the system and the user. Mode: A special state of the system in which the same system has somewhat different user interfaces.
