Title:
  Modal dialogs are not accessible

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The dialog boxes that appear when editing a block on a page are not accessible to screen reader/keyboard users for various reasons
  - They are inserted below all other elements and focus is not set to them
  - Even if the user finds the dialog in the tabbing order they can freely tab in and out of it (even though the rest of the page is greyed out), which is confusing
  - The close button's alt text is 'X'

  My preferred solution is to set focus to the close button and add
  aria-hidden to the page content to lock focus to the dialog.
