Return Value from a Modal Dialog (IE + Safari)?

Question

The following works in IE, but how can I get it working in Safari?

My pop up script:

strRet = window.showModalDialog(url,0,'Status:NO;dialogWidth:750px;dialogHeight:500px') ; form.field.value = strRet ;

In the modal:

window.returnValue = myValue

window.close

thanks! Geoff

showModalDialog was an IE invention. Firefox offers a level of support for it, but most other browsers do not. It isn't part of "regular" JavaScript but you can use window.open() instead... which works in all browsers.
