Not sure how much help this is but...
- I don't think it's recursively calling itself: the definition is for
"showModalDialog", but it then calls "ModalDialog"
- $1g is a name of a function (dollar signs are valid in function names in JS)
. In this case, it would have to be defined in SP.UI.ModalDialog (*not*
SP.UI.showModalDialog).
