We've been shipping showModalDialog for years on Mac, but I think it didn't work on Windows in our betas. We had to add it for certification with certain "enterprise" web applications years ago. We've never had a request for showModelessDialog or equivalent functionality (as far a sI know). > Also, was openDialog considered (from FF)? We asked the ISVs who wanted a way to do a modal dialog and they preferred the IE API. Neither seemed technically better or worse as far as we could tell. Regards, Maciej
