The following example displays a button to open a dialog. The dialog asks the user if they want to accept a Terms of Service prompt.
The dialog contains "Accept" or "Decline" buttons: when the user clicks one of the buttons, the button's click handler closes the dialog, passing their choice into the close()
function. This assigns the choice to the dialog's returnValue
property.
In the dialog's close
event handler, the example updates the main page's status text to record the returnValue
.
If the user dismisses the dialog without clicking a button (for example, by pressing the Esc key), then the return value is not set.
HTML<dialog id="termsDialog">
<p>Do you agree to the Terms of Service (link)?</p>
<button id="declineButton" value="declined">Decline</button>
<button id="acceptButton" value="accepted">Accept</button>
</dialog>
<p>
<button id="openDialogButton">Review ToS</button>
</p>
<p id="statusText"></p>
JavaScript
const dialog = document.getElementById("termsDialog");
const statusText = document.getElementById("statusText");
const openDialogButton = document.getElementById("openDialogButton");
const declineButton = document.getElementById("declineButton");
const acceptButton = document.getElementById("acceptButton");
openDialogButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
dialog.showModal();
});
declineButton.addEventListener("click", closeDialog);
acceptButton.addEventListener("click", closeDialog);
function closeDialog(event) {
const button = event.target;
dialog.close(button.value);
}
dialog.addEventListener("close", () => {
statusText.innerText = dialog.returnValue
? `Return value: ${dialog.returnValue}`
: "There was no return value";
});
Result
Try clicking "Review ToS", then choosing the "Accept" or "Decline" buttons in the dialog, or dismissing the dialog by pressing the Esc key, and observe the different status updates.
