I am using Jquery ui modal dialog on Firefox version 18.0.2 with JAWS Screen Reader version 13.0. After opening the modal dialog JAWS reads all the contents very well. it finish reading everything on dialog and it lost focus from dialog to parent page and start reading parent page content. And now I am not able to close or click any link on modal dialog(kind of stuck on the page).

Is there any way that I can understand what is causing the issue?
