    showModalDialog is a method of the window object in IE's object model, I
    certainly know it works with IE/Win (and there it doesn't matter whether
    you use J(ava)Script or VBScript), and according to the docs at
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/showmodaldialog.asp
    it also works with IE versions on other platforms.
    As for other browser, Netscape 4, Netscape 6/7, Mozilla, Opera all do
    not support that method.
