Description

public/uploads/rules/dont-open-popup-windows-use-a-javascript-modal-instead/rule.mdx
Finding
lastUpdated: 2016-11-17. The rule focuses on avoiding popup windows and using anchor tags or JavaScript onclick to open windows. It doesn't mention modern accessibility, focus management for modals, rel="noopener" for external links, or recommending accessible dialog patterns.
Suggestions
- Update to recommend accessible modal patterns (focus trap, ARIA roles, keyboard support) and link to WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices.
- Add security recommendation for external links (
rel="noopener noreferrer") and advise when to use target vs. modals. - Suggest modern modal libraries or native dialog element with progressive enhancement examples.
