Is there a HTML5 alternative to JS's Alert Box?

alert, css, html, javascript

Solution

HTML5 is a platform and brand. It include many javascript API, CSS3 modules and etc. Try to use `:target` CSS3 example of alert, for example. It use top features of CSS3.

Code from pen:

HTML

<div class="wrap">
  <h1>Modal - Pure CSS (no Javascript)</h1>
  <p>Example of modal in CSS only, here I use the pseudo selector ":target" and no javascript for modal action.</p>
  <p>This works in IE9+ and all modern browsers.</p>
  <p>View <a href="http://www.felipefialho.com/css-components/">Pure CSS Components</a> project.</p>
  <hr />
  <a href="#modal-one" class="btn btn-big">Modal!</a>
</div>

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal" id="modal-one" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-header">
      <h2>Modal in CSS?</h2>
      <a href="#" class="btn-close" aria-hidden="true">×</a>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
      <p>One modal example here! :D</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <a href="#" class="btn">Nice!</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<!-- /Modal -->

EDIT:

`Chrome Canary` 37+ has `dialog` element. More info in code example. The main profit from it is `show`, `close` and `showModal` methods and `::backdrop` css selector for background.
