Actual Results

When screen reader users activate the "Subscribe to updates" button, the "Subscribe to updates" non-modal dialog appears on the page. However, this non-modal dialog is not specified with a programmatic role and accessible name. This results in difficulty for screen reader users to understand the presence of a dialog.

Expected Results

Users should be able to identify the presence of the dialog using a screen reader.

Apply the following changes:

• Add the role="dialog" and aria-modal="false" attributes to the <div> element containing the dialog content.
• Provide an accessible name for the dialog as "Subscribe to updates" using the "aria-label" attribute.
