<p>The <strong><code>show()</code></strong> method of the {{domxref("HTMLDialogElement")}} interface displays the dialog modelessly, i.e. still allowing interaction with content outside of the dialog.</p>

<p>The following example shows a simple button that, when clicked, opens a {{htmlelement("dialog")}} containing a form via the <code>show()</code> method. From there you can click the <em>Cancel</em> button to close the dialog (via the {{domxref("HTMLDialogElement.close()")}} method), or submit the form via the submit button.</p>
