Did <dialog> replace an existing HTML element? <dialog> did not replace any existing HTML element as it is a new tag in HTML5. However, before people used jQuery plugin like UI dialog, Twitter Bootstrap Modal, or Popeasy in order to create a dialog box. Now people mostly use the <dialog> element for HTML because it is much easier to create a dialog box.
