Dialog Window for non IE browsers (JavaScript)

simple way to force focus to the child window.

Code:

  <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
  var activeDialog=0;
  
  //OpenDialog: opens given URL as dialog window - focus can't be set on parent until child is closed.
  function OpenDialog(strURL, properties)
  {
  	//maybe we have IE?
  	if (typeof window.showModalDialog != "undefined") {
  		window.showModalDialog(strURL);
  		return true;
  	}
  	
  	//non IE browser
  	window.onfocus = WindowFocus;
  	activeDialog = window.open(strURL, "dialog", properties);
  	
  	return true;
  }
  
  function WindowFocus(event)
  {
  	if (activeDialog) {
  		try {
  			activeDialog.focus();
  		}
  		catch (e) {
  			activeDialog = 0;
  		}
  	}
  }
  </script>

to use this code, simply call the OpenDialog function passing the desired url and window properties (position, dimensions etc) for example:

Code:

<input type="button" value="Open as dialog" onclick="OpenDialog('MyPage.html', 'width=500,height=300');" />
