Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Implement and Ship: <dialog>: add DialogShowParams to show()/showModal()

[Rick Byers]

Updated subject.

This looks reasonable to me.  There's approval on the PR from @nt1m from Mozilla and feedback from @smaug---- (Gecko DOM lead) was addressed.  We should wait for the spec change to land before shipping IMHO.

Hi,

Since this is an intent to implement *and* ship, could you resend with that changed subject line?

While the change seems reasonable, I don't see much engagement outside of Chromium team members/Googlers. Has it seen sufficient exposure for people to comment?

I suggest that this addition is unecessary, what should be fixed is the default behaviour.  as it is poor UX and poor accessibility, some reasons here: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1929#issuecomment-269790518  By default the focus should be on the dialog element and only if the developer wants to have focus set on a control when the dialog is displayed they could then use the autofucus attribute or JS .focus()
