This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
the spec says: "An entire Document can be marked as blocked by a modal dialog subject. While a Document is so marked, every node that is in the Document, with the exception of the subject element, its ancestors, and its descendants, must be marked inert." http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/editing.html#inert-subtrees what should mean that everything but dialog, its ancestors and descendants must be inert. However if the dialog is part of the document then that everything includes no element. Is "its ancestors" specified by mistake?
HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Fixed in latest draft If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
