  > I'm with you... would be nice to have: You can do this right now already: // For opening <button onclick='document.querySelector("#dialogId").showModal()'>Open</button> // For closing <button onclick='this.closest("dialog").close()'>Close</button> I think the problem here is that it is impossible to actually use the result from `close()`, as it can return a status, IIRC. > It would just make so much sense. That way above that I propose is about as sensible as the way you propose. If there are any problems with my proposal that are solved by your proposal, I'd love to hear it.

    The point was to be able to do it without JS.

      I understand, but from a pragmatic viewpoint, it is no more and no less complicated to do it with `onclick` JS than it would be to do it with some other attribute. For all practical purposes, there is no difference between the two. I understand that the `onclick` wouldn't fire in browsers where JS is turned off, but in that case (no JS) you're going to have an awful user experience using dialogs even with builtin open/close attributes for dialogs.
