Issue
Struggling with creating a dialog element that includes an x button for closing the <dialog> in the upper-right corner. My initial idea was to utilize absolute positioning and transforms to achieve this functionality, but encountered a setback when the x button extended beyond the boundaries of its parent <dialog>, making it partially hidden.
const openDialog = document.querySelector("#open-dialog")
const closeDialog = document.querySelector("#close-dialog")
const dialog = document.querySelector("dialog")
openDialog.addEventListener("click", () => {
dialog.showModal();
})
closeDialog.addEventListener("click", () => {
dialog.close();
})html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
dialog {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
}
#close-dialog {
position: absolute;
background-color: pink;
top: -10px;
z-index: 1;

After applying top: -10px, experienced the issue of the #close-dialog button being pushed upwards, leading to visibility issues where only a portion of it is visible while the rest remains concealed.
Attempted Solutions:
- Experimented with
z-indexwithout success - Tried using
transform: translateY()which also failed to resolve the problem
Expected Outcome:
- The
#close-dialogshould remain fully visible and not be hidden by any overlapping elements
