Problem statement

There's no markup or API for dialog boxes, tool palettes, hovering tooltips, the contents of popup widgets, and the like.

Real world examples today

Dialogs

Registration Dialogs

  • http://www.reddit.com/ - make sure to be logged out if you have an account, and click the register link
  • http://digg.com/ - make sure to be logged out if you have an account, and click the Join Digg! button
  • http://slashdot.org/ - make sure to be logged out if you have an account, and click the Join link

Login Dialogs

  • http://slashdot.org/ - make sure to be logged out if you have an account, and click the Log In link
  • http://digg.com/ - make sure to be logged out if you have an account, and click the Login button

Tooltips

  • The tooltips in the table of [1] are interesting because they are currently <div>s and force the parent to be a TD rather than a TH since TH is inline only, even though the visible content is really just phrasing content.
