Unrelated, that is pure class based not element based. :-) `mdl` (and thus `elm-mdl`) uses real html5 dialog: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_dialog.asp However many browsers are crappy enough to not support html5 that well yet, so there is a polyfill you can add (which you probably should), and the polyfill has some limitations: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/dialog-polyfill#limitations And elm-mdl would have to connect a dialog with its id somehow, which is 'string'y and easy to break (much more easy to break with more than one elm app too, hard problem to solve), however the elm style already has the concept of 'views' of a single thing that mutate, so they went the realm of that you mutate the dialog to contain whatever it should contain. :-) > I also notice in the Elm demo that the dialog gets hoisted out of the Dialog tab and placed at the top of the page, something to do with the limitations of the dialog polyfill. Polyfill stuff yep, dialogs need to be 'global'. HTML5 dialogs are odd, and would be less odd if browsers followed the spec, but eh... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
