Be aware that modal boxes are IE-specific.

Bear, I think you need to re-look at Mozilla. They have implemented it!

OK, let me re-phrase: be aware that modal dialogs are non-standard and some browsers support different prorietary means to implement them. showModalDialog, for example, is IE-specific.

Hi,
Thanks for replies.
I want to open a popup window in which I show some message and there would be a close button to close this window, if user does not close this window I want to close this window after 10 seconds.I had tried an example code with window.open as show below:

windowHandle = window.open('childPage.jsp','mywindow','width=400,height=200');
setTimeout('windowHandle.close()',10000);

It is working fine it open a new window and close this window after 10 seconds, but I can not send any argument by using window.open so I tried showModalDialog() to open a new window, I'm specific for IE so showModalDialog() is working fine in this browser. In my new code I'm using:
showModalDialog('childPage.jsp',ArgumentPassed,'dialogHeight:9;dialogWidth:27;help ff;status:no;fullscreen=no;unadorned=yes');
I want to close this window after 10 seconds.

Thanks,
Saurabh Saha

put the window.close() into the modal window code instead of the parent.
