[Wtr-general] Attaching modal popup windows ( html)

[Christian Baumann]

Hello Balakrishna,

to make sure that it is a modal dialog, checkt the definition: "In user 
interface design, a modal window (often called modal dialog because the 
window is almost always used to display a dialog box) is a child window, 
which has to be closed before the user can return to operating the 
parent application."  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window)

Regards,
Christian
