It appears there is an undocumented window.openDialog() method in newer Gecko-based UAs since rv:0.9 (because Netscape 6 is mentioned in the FAQ) which may provide for a viable alternative, but I have never used that: <URL:http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window> (I already posted this) However, it appears also that it requires a signed and trusted script: <URL:http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1602> JFTR: Do not attempt to emulate a modal dialog by trying to keep a window on top; it will only annoy your users when they try to use other browser windows or tabs, and other application software that have a windowed GUI.
