Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-10-08 00:20:21 UTC 
Consider "<body tabindex="0"><dialog><input>", then call dialog.showModal(). Tab should focus the <input>, not the <body>.

Probably means changing how we define inertness and "blocked by a dialog".
Comment 1 alexander surkov 2013-10-08 13:14:49 UTC 
is bug 23381 dupe of this one or are they in dependency?
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-10-09 22:21:54 UTC 
Bug 23381 is on a different spec (the W3C fork).

Bug 23382 (the clone of 23381) is about editorial issues in the WHATWG spec.

This bug is about changing the normative definitions to prevent tabbing to inert ancestors.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8343.
Check-in comment: Make modal <dialog> ancestors inert too.
