   You’d think folks writing the HTML spec would know the difference between an HTML attribute and inline JavaScript but you’d be mistaken and that’s why we can’t open a modal dialog without client-side JavaScript in 2024.

   🤷

     (Of course the real reason you can’t modally open a dialog in HTML in 2024 is because doing so doesn’t help Google gather more data. If it did, fuck me, it would’ve been implemented the day that issue was filed six years ago.)

     @knowler I’d still just like to be able to steam an open modal dialog from the server.

     Flow/use case: (e.g.) button press on client invokes (via WebSocket) backend code that sends the open modal.
