<br>
Remarks<br>
<br>
A modal dialog box retains the input focus while open. The user cannot switch windows until the dialog box is closed.<br>
<br>
Because a modal dialog box can include a URL to a resource in a different domain, do not pass information through the vArguments parameter that the user might consider private. The vArguments parameter can be referenced within the modal dialog box using the dialogArguments property of the window object. If the vArguments parameter is defined as a string, the maximum string length that can be passed to the modal dialog box is 4096 characters; longer strings are truncated.<br>
<br>
As of Microsoft&reg; Internet Explorer 4.0, you can eliminate scroll bars on dialog boxes. To turn off the scroll bar, set the SCROLL attribute to false in the body elem
