...but why this API and not showModelessDialog too?
I'd be interested to know the rationale for this decision on
WebKit's part.
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.
