HTML Dialog Generator

Configure dialog options and copy native HTML dialog element snippets.

L ading . . .

Native HTML dialog

The <dialog> element provides built-in focus management and optional modal behavior when opened with HTMLDialogElement.showModal(). This generator builds accessible markup including an optional <form method="dialog"> close control.

Scripting

Add buttons in your app that call document.querySelector('#your-id').showModal() and .close() when finished. Polyfills are rarely needed in modern evergreen browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include the open attribute?

Use open for dialogs visible on page load. For modals opened from JavaScript, omit open and call showModal().

What does method="dialog" do?

Submitting the form closes the dialog and sets the return value from the button value attribute.

Can I style the backdrop?

Yes, with the ::backdrop pseudo-element in your CSS when the dialog is shown as a modal.
