<p>A type of dialog that contains an alert message, where initial focus goes to an <a>element</a> within the dialog. See related <rref>alert</rref> and <rref>dialog</rref>.</p>
<p>Alert dialogs are used to convey messages to alert the user. The <code>alertdialog</code> <a>role</a> goes on the [=nodes|node=] containing both the alert message and the rest of the dialog. Authors SHOULD make alert dialogs modal by ensuring that, while the <code>alertdialog</code> is shown, keyboard and mouse interactions only operate within the dialog. See <pref>aria-modal</pref>.</p>
<p>Unlike <rref>alert</rref>, <code>alertdialog</code> can receive a response from the user. For example, to confirm that the user understands the alert being generated. When the alert dialog is displayed, authors SHOULD set focus to an active element within the alert dialog, such as a form control or confirmation button. The <a>user agent</a> SHOULD fire a system alert <a>event</a> through the accessibility API when the alert is created, provided one is specified by the intended <a>accessibility <abbr title="Application Programing Interfaces">API</abbr></a>.</p>
<p>Authors SHOULD provide an accessible name for an <code>alertdialog</code>, which can be done with the <pref>aria-label</pref> or <pref>aria-labelledby</pref> attribute.</p>
<p>Authors SHOULD use <pref>aria-describedby</pref> on an <code>alertdialog</code> to reference the alert message element in the dialog. If they do not, an <a>assistive technology</a> can resort to its internal recovery mechanism to determine the contents of the alert message.</p>

<p>An unspecified value for <pref>aria-readonly</pref> does not imply that a <code>grid</code> or a <rref>gridcell</rref> contains editable content. For example, if a <code>grid</code> presents a collection of elements that are not editable, such as a collection of <rref>link</rref> elements representing dates in a datepicker, it is not necessary for the author to specify a value for <pref>aria-readonly</pref>.</p>
<p>Authors MAY indicate that a focusable <rref>gridcell</rref> is selectable as the object of an action with the <sref>aria-selected</sref> attribute. If the <code>grid</code> allows multiple <rref>gridcell</rref>s to be selected, the author SHOULD set <pref>aria-multiselectable</pref> to <code>true</code> on the element with role <code>grid</code>.</p>
<p>Since <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> can augment an element of the host language, a <code>grid</code> can reuse the elements and attributes of a native table, such as an HTML <code>table</code> element. For example, if an author applies the <code>grid</code> role to an HTML <code>table</code> element, the author does not need to apply the <rref>row</rref> and <rref>gridcell</rref> roles to the descendant HTML <code>tr</code> and <code>td</code> elements because the <a>user agent</a> will automatically make the appropriate translations. When the author is reusing a native host language table element and needs a <rref>gridcell</rref> element to span multiple rows or columns, the author SHOULD apply the appropriate host language attributes instead of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> <pref>aria-rowspan</pref> or <pref>aria-colspan</pref> properties.</p>
