Edit Question
Title
Body
I was wondering what some of my fellow web developers/designers felt would be the best HTML 5 element to use for a modal dialog like a lightbox, superbox, thickbox, or whatever your favorite flavor might happen to be. Since these types of UI's don't follow the typical flow of a 'normal' web page (which, apparently, according to HTML 5 spec gurus is, essentially, a blog), they don't really fall into place like a <header> , <nav> , <section> , <article> , or a <footer> (amongst other new 'semantic' elements) might. Of course, there is always the <div> , but, I was just kinda thinking there might be something a little more semantically-accurate. Unfortunately, there is no <modal> element. What are your thoughts on whether there should be one in the spec? And since the element doesn't exist, what would be your next best choice?
