Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or saved.

Use the native dialog model

showModal() places the dialog in the top layer and gives it modal behavior with a backdrop.

aria-labelledby connects the dialog to a visible heading so assistive technology gets its name from the content.

A form with method=dialog lets a submit button close the dialog without custom close plumbing.

Dialog questions

Why use dialog instead of a div?

The native element provides modal state, top-layer rendering, and built-in close behavior when opened with showModal().

How does the close button work?

The button submits the surrounding form with method=dialog, which closes the dialog and sets its return value.

Does this handle focus management?

Native modal dialogs manage the basic focus behavior. Test your final content and add app-specific focus handling when needed.
