It's not a JavaScript function, it=E4s a method of the browser.
Hence you can call showModalDialog with JavaScript in Internet Explorer.

The Netscape DOM doesn't offer something like that.

However, take a look at this, it might help you:

Subject: [javascript] Opening a modal Dialog through JavaScript


I am using JavaScript to popup a Modal Dialog in my application.

I am using window.showModalDialog(url) to open the window. (This is
JScript and not JavaScript) hence I cannot use it with Netscape. Can
anyone tell me what JavaScript function can be used for this
