Modal Window in Firefox

[Smellyfrog]

Hi,

I'm a newbie in mozilla web development. I've been developping apps
for IE and Netscape for years though.
After searching the internet (groups google etc..), I found a way to
pop a modal window using a XUL page.

Here is my question: despite seing examples of how to return a value
to the caller window, I have been unable to make this work. Is there
anyone who would have a TESTED very simple example on poping a modal
window that would receive one argument and would return a result?

I want to use this to pop a calendar page and return the date chosen.
I have the code for the calendar, but I need the mechanism to get the
date back. This window has to be modal by requirement.

Many thanks
Yannick

Hi Mike,

Thanks a million for your reply. It did give me a new approach on how
to pop a window as modal.
However would you know how to return a value to the caller window?
This is my main problem at the moment.

Thanks
Yannick
