> You still need a tiny bit of JavaScript if you want to open a modal dialog from another button I think you can open/close modal dialogs now without JavaScript? Using "Invoker Commands API" aka "commandfor" etc. (baseline 2025)? Something like this? ->

<button commandfor="mydialog" command="show-modal">Show modal dialog</button>
<dialog id="mydialog">
<button commandfor="mydialog" command="close">Close</button>
Dialog Content
</dialog>

Woooooah, TIL. I used to have some hacky CSS thing for JS-free modals, using hidden checkboxes and pseudo-elements. Very cool, but filled with caveats.
