Actual Results

The status message "Visual Mode" and "Text Mode" displayed on the modal dialog when users click the "Visual" and "Text" buttons respectively is not rendered by screen readers. As a result, screen reader users are not aware of this message being displayed on the page.

Expected Results

Use ARIA live region to make sure that the dynamic update is announced for screen reader users. This can be achieved by either adding a live region role="status" or aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" attributes to the container used to display the message. Make sure the live region is present in the page source by default.
