Custom styling a dialog


You can style a page as a dialog by using the data-role="dialog" attribute on the page container. You can also specify the data-rel="dialog" attribute in the anchor link used to open the page. The page now gets styled as a dialog, and opens with a pop transition. When you add a header to the dialog, a close icon is created on the header, by default, in the left side of the header.
