Creating true modal dialogs in browsers other than Internet Explorer is not easy - showModalDialog is a MSIE thing. And then there are other issues

a. Lack of control over the dialog UI
b. Cumbersome access to objects in the document from which the modal dialog was opened
c. Modals blocked by user browser settings or a firewall


All of these problems can b e avoided by simply creating a simulated modal dialog using the power of CSS. Here is a tutorial explaining how

Ok this forum turned out to be really interesting. I’m learning a lot by lurking but i guess i lurked enough lol. Thanks man for the dialog. By the way i think IE6 has become obsolete nowadays (what a relief) so we should see less problems. But either ways, i really love CSS because it managed to solve many, i mean MANY of my coding and XHTML compliance problem. Power to style sheeters!

Edit: Wow i can’t believe i commented on a thread only to discover that it’s a 3 years old one! anyway, the effort of the OP was worth a thank you though.

OH man, I was really hoping that joining this forum would help me understand css communications as a service but I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed. Maybe I need to take a class at this point. I could spend all day in these forums and come out still scratching my head.

Does modal dialog effect SEO searchability?  I just read a great thread on SEO friendly shopping carts.  Does modal dialog effect this?

Anything that is dynamicly generated won’t help you with your seo.It’s really easy just check the source file of a certain page and check if the part u want to show to se exists.If it doesn’t se bots wont see it either.

I wish. My employer still uses it. It’s incredibly hard to develop sites that look good and are searchable for IE anything. There should be public service announcements about this!
