When we were first getting into inert
we debated this specific topic for a long time. We came to the conclusion that it's better for inert
to be consistent, otherwise you could never really trust it. For example, say you put inert
on your <body>
but elsewhere in the page you load an <iframe>
for an ad and tucked in that ad is an inert=false
. Developers don't often have fine grained control over the ads code that gets loaded into their site, so this scenario is very possible and would make inert
kind of useless.
We proposed a separate primitive for the use case you're describing, tentatively called blockingElements
. You can check out a polyfill here. Basically blockingElements
lets you say "everyone except for me is inert", whereas inert
lets you say "I am inert". Here's a write up I did to explain both in a bit more detail https://robdodson.me/building-better-accessibility-primitives/. Hope that helps!

Gonna close this but happy to reopen for discussion if folks would like to keep the conversation going

@robdodson , thanks for your responce. Sorry for my late reply. Would you consider doing an A11ycast on blockingElements?
