About Material Design Lite
Material Design Lite (MDL) is a library of components for web developers based on Google's Material Design Philosophy: "A visual language for our users that synthesizes the classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science." Understanding the goals and principles of Material Design is critical to the proper use of the Material Design Lite components. If you have not yet read the Material Design Introduction you should do so before attempting to use the components. To use the dialog component, you must be using a browser that supports the dialog element. Only Chrome and Opera have native support at the time of writing. For other browsers you will need to include the dialog polyfill or create your own. Once you have dialog support create a dialog element. The element when using the polyfill must be a child of the body element. Within that container, add a content element with the class mdl-dialog content.
