> Too bad OP is not omniscient and capable of predicting your made up tags I think a more accurate word here would be "prescient". "Omniscient" means knowing everything, but I believe that "everything" doesn't include "everything now and in the future. "Prescient" means knowing future events, i.e. "predicting" (Emphasis mine)

That's obviously up to your definition, but omniscience as commonly understood as an attribute of the Christian God is also knowledge of future events (which is why it's usually argued that it conflicts with free will). "The future" is part of "everything".

    1. Omniscient is a superset that include prescient"
    2. Prescient is a narrower meaning than omniscient.

    1. "Automobile" can be used to describe my wife's car
    2. "SUV" is a more accurate description.

Yes, but in the article I posted: > Popovers created using the Popover API are always non-modal. If you want to create a modal popover, a element is the right way to go. > You can turn a element into a popover ( is perfectly valid) if you want to combine popover control with dialog semantics.

But it's still a non-modal dialog, which doesn't match the JavaScript functionality.

Whoa! I'm a big fan of yours. You've really inspired me to think more creatively about the web/software. Thanks a ton, I'm glad this reached you.

After looking at the source for this, I have a tangential question (feel free to answer even if you aren't the OP): Whats the advantage of creating a separate `label` element before/after the input and using `for=` compared to simply wrapping the target input in the label element, like the code snippet below? Your Name? It seems to me that there is a lot less room for error when not using IDs, so I always wrap the in…

Note that the tag does not need and does not use a closing slash and never has in any HTML standard: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/input.html#the-input-elemen...
