i have written a showmodaldialog() fuction in a jsp file and its working well in firefox but in ie8 its now working,my code is here : <-----a.jsp------> <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> Step Editor

function test() { var retvalue; retvalue = window.showModalDialog("index.jsp"); }

<--------->

in the above code a.jsp is parent window which is calling index.jsp as child window.

<----index.jsp----->
