Can i use Modal Dialog Box on Mozilla?

[mini_dumbo]

we've got a page that we'd like to use on both IE and mozilla, but it contains a modal dialog box that mozilla doesn't regconize.... any suggestions?

PS the nature of a modal dialog box is required for our page, so we don't want to use a pop-up window or anything along the same sort.....

here's the code we used to call it:

function callDialog() {
showModalDialog("popUp.html",window,"status:no;dialogWidth:300px;dialogHeight:150px");
}

sinice the window doesn't even pop up, we assume any potential problems in the popUp.html file is not to our concern yet right?

Please help!

showModalDialog()
Proprietary construct. IE only. Bill Gates just keeps getting richer and richer...

You can answer these type of questions yourself by looking on Microsoft's web site. Each definition page shows if there are any public specifications relating to the discussion. For example, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/showmodaldialog.asp?frame=true, and look for "Standards Information" near the bottom of the page.

>.< o.... does that mean there's no way to get a child window of a modal dialog nature to work on Mozilla????

If anybody know anything about it... PLEASE TELL US!!!

I'm trying to figure out how to do that in other browsers but there's no documentation about it :(
