Description:
I just noticed that the dialogue box in scr37 is non modal at least in FF, which causes focus to drop into the background... almost never would we want to show that, because of the confusion it causes...

Let's review and fix the technique

Related notes:

Note also that the technique also says: "It is also nice, but not always necessary, to make the launching link toggle the dialog open and closed, and to close the dialog when the keyboard focus leaves it."

[Joshue108]: The technique needs a reboot, maybe an aria role="modal" property is needed.
