Display a modal dialog window in an applet

[Sowjanya Raghu]

How do I display a modal dialog from an applet in a browser?

[Cindy Glass]

If you use a JOptionPane it has several built in Modal Dialogs:
showConfirmDialog Asks a confirming question, like yes/no/cancel.
showInputDialog Prompt for some input.
showMessageDialog Tell the user about something that has happened.
showOptionDialog The Grand Unification of the above three.

For a custom dialog try this (uses browser as frame):

    Container c = this.getParent();
    PWDialog dlg;
    while (c != null) {
      if (c instanceof Frame) {
        dlg = new PWDialog((Frame)c);
        dlg.show();
        //more stuff here
      }
        
      c = c.getParent();
    }
