Sadly, yes. Last time I tried using showModalDialog it worked in Chrome, but the same way window.open works - the window was not modal. It won't work in Opera as well, so the only thing that comes to mind is using Jquery UI's Dialog.

Hi,

You are right window.showModalDialog() doesn't work with the latest updated version of Google Chrome, i too faced this problem in my project.

You can have a number of solutions for that :-

1. The easiest one is window.open();

Pros:- Easy to handle and use.
Cons:- You can still work on the parent page while the pop-up window is opened.

2. The Efficient solution is to use jQuery dialog control.
For better understanding of jQuery dialog control you can refer the
link "http://jqueryui.com/dialog/[^]"

Thanks.
