ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name
What is the problem?
The aria-dialog-name rule ensures that elements with the ARIA role dialog or alertdialog have a clear and accessible name.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Screen reader users rely on names to understand the purpose and content of dialogs. Without a clear name, users may miss important information or be unable to interact with the dialog correctly.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, provide a descriptive name for each dialog using the aria-label or aria-labelledby attribute. This will help screen reader users understand the dialog's purpose and navigate the content effectively.
