The problem with relying on anchors means it stays in the browser history, so if you press 'back', you get the modal dialog again! I don't think this is very useful, but it is a fun exercise in CSS.

Just use JavaScript to clear the browser history. Bingo! Pure CSS modal.

  I see what you did there.

Well, you can manipulate the browser history to remove those anchor links :)

  With CSS? It's just easier to do this with Javascipt without hacking the history.

  Sure, just have the user follow a step-by-step guide on deleting the last x items in their history every time ;-)

To be fair in some cases this can be a benefit. There have been occasions where I have wanted to link to content contained within a modal. You are right in that there are also occasions where this isn't desired.

Modal can be used with checkbox - and it's sweet: https://codepen.io/Idered/pen/vytkH https://codepen.io/Idered/pen/vytkH
