Day 15: the :modal pseudo-class

There are two methods you can use to open a <dialog> element, show() and showModal(). show() opens a dialog on top of the rest of the content, but you can still interact with content beneath. showModal() opens a modal dialog with a backdrop on top of the rest of the content, and you can’t interact with the rest of the page.

You can use the :modal pseudo-class to style modal dialogs (dialogs opened via showModal()) differently.

yo!

dialog {
  border: 10px solid aqua;
}

:modal {
  border-style: dotted;
  border-color: fuchsia;
  padding: 4rem;
}
<dialog>
  yo!

  <button class="closeButton">Close</button>
</dialog>

<button class="showButton">Show</button>
<button class="showModalButton">Show modal</button>
const showButton = document.querySelector('.showButton')
const showModalButton = document.querySelector('.showModalButton')
const closeButton = document.querySelector('.closeButton')
const dialog = document.querySelector('dialog')

showButton.addEventListener('click', e => {
  dialog.show()
})

showModalButton.addEventListener('click', e => {
  dialog.showModal()
})

closeButton.addEventListener('click', e => {
  dialog.close()
})
