Patterns
- /
: accordion/FAQ without JS; browser manages open/close, disclosure triangle; style with ::marker
- popover API: anchor tooltips and dropdowns with popover='auto' + popovertarget; browser handles dismiss on outside click
- inert attribute: block interaction and AT with inert='true' on background content behind modal — replaces aria-hidden + tabindex=-1 trees
: semantic gauge (battery, disk usage); - : native color picker without a 500-line component
Browser Support
dialog: 100% Baseline 2023; popover: Baseline 2024 (Chrome 114+, Firefox 125+, Safari 17+); inert: Baseline 2023
When To Use Custom
- Complex multi-select combobox with search and grouping
- Date range picker with custom calendar logic
- Rich-text editor content areas
- Command palette with fuzzy search

When To Use Custom

- Date range picker with custom calendar logic
- Rich-text editor content areas
- Command palette with fuzzy search
Rationale
Native elements provide built-in keyboard support, accessibility semantics, browser-managed focus trapping, and zero JavaScript overhead. Custom implementations must replicate all this manually and frequently miss edge cases.
