It isn’t related to compose.
There are different ways:
1. There’s dialog tag. https://css-tricks.com/some-hands-on-with-the-html-dialog-element/
2. Default HTML positioning things like
position: absolute , left , top , etc… I think there are lots of examples in the internet.

What framework do you use, Material, Bootstrap?

[LeoColman]

None 😅
I'm using compose only.

@Akif Abasov [JB] Why isn't this related to compose? I'm treating compose as a framework of some sort, such as React. I would ask this on React SO 😄

[hfhbd]

It's related to JS/HTML etc, not Compose specific.

[LeoColman]

I see.
I thought compose would have something like Dialog(visible = dialogState) { ... }.open() , as this exists in Android's Compose

[LeoColman]

That's why I thought that maybe this could be compose-web related

[LeoColman]

Does this kind of feature makes sense? I'd open a feature request issue if it does

I think that currently you have to implement it yourself (or use some library if you find).
You can use the docs/examples mentioned above.
Compose/Web is (currently) very low-level, it has only `@Composable`s wrapping the DOM, it does not have higher level components.

Compose for Web is pure HTML, and in pure HTML there is no "pretty" customizable dialog (except the linked <dialog> tag, but it is unsupported in Safari). So either use some frameworks, eg bootstrap, RingUI (?) or MaterialUI, which is used on Android, or develop it by yourself.
