Initial Focus

Updated on Oct 27, 2026

By default, the Dialog focuses the first focusable element in its content, excluding the elements in the title bar. If the content has no focusable element, the Dialog does not move focus.

The following example shows a Dialog whose first focusable content element is the input. The input receives focus when the Dialog opens, even though the Close button precedes it in the DOM. The example also displays which element holds the focus.
