Dialog

The Dialog module provides a mechanism for launching an app’s modules as modal dialogs from within an app’s iframe.

A modal dialog displays information without requiring the user to leave the current page. The dialog is opened over the entire window, rather than within the iframe itself.

Styling your dialog to look like a standard Atlassian dialog

By default the dialog iframe is undecorated. It’s up to the developer to style the dialog.

In order to maintain a consistent look and feel between the host application and the app, we encourage app developers to style their dialogs to match Atlassian’s Design Guidelines for modal dialogs.

To do that, you’ll need to add the AUI styles to your dialog. For more information, read about the Atlassian User Interface dialog component.
