For information on creating a modal window in Internet Explorer, see

   <http://www.webreference.com/js/tips/010814.html>

Search for "modal" on the page

   <http://www.webreference.com/js/>

for further examples.

I have not written a modal page myself (we don't have a guarantee that
all users will have IE), but the example works in IE 5.

I'm not sure what you mean by your second question.

Hello

I am developing an application using SAS/IntrNet (Application
Dispatcher
version 8.2), and I would like to use a modal dialog in certain places.
The
purpose will be to display a dual list selection window that can be
used
for making multiple subsetting selections. When the user clicks "OK" on
the
selection dialog, their selections will be written to the users
application
dispatcher session (SAVE library) and the dialog will then close,
returning
control to the calling page. When the user clicks "Run Query" on the
calling page, the saved selections will be used in their query. I am
working in an Internet Explorer only environment, so cross-browser
issues
will not be significant. So my questions are

1. Has anyone done this succesfully, and what tips can you give ?
2. The dialog will be populated with different data for selection
depending
on which button on the calling a user has clicked. How can I use
_webout to
dynamically stream HTML to the dialog ?

Any forthcoming advice will be welcomed.

Thanks

John
