The request I put is NOT about whether you can make it PRETTY looking or not.
The question is about why we are allowing website have something which is MODAL
(ie, both window modal and tab modal

In my opinion a no website should have that much control over user interaction.
Well, you just said it: Bug 59314!
That alert()s, prompt()s and confirm()s are window-modal is only an
implementation issue: Some years ago browsers implemented these prompts
the most convenient way: By opening a native modal dialog. But right now
broswer vendors realize that this isn't really the best solution -
because of DOS attacks and simply because it doesn't make any sense.
And as you already mentioned: Firefox landed tab-modal dialogs a few
days ago. Opera already had them. Other browsers will follow.
So, what is your issue?
