showModalDialog() is match better: 1. showModalDilalog() will return when you close dialog, not before. Yo can write: var retval = window.showModalDialog(...); if(retval == 'OK') return true; else return false; 2. While modal dialog is opend, there is no way to do anything in parent window, like in any application modal dialog in Windows. 3. There is single item in taskbar and ALT-tab list. 4. In a modal dialog you can only click on links and buttons. No other way to go back and forward or reload. It is jutst what we need for forms in Web appplications. The big problem is that only IE has this feature. Nebojsa
