I'm trying to create a dialog similar to the one that shows when clicking the 'flag' link here on SO (without using JQuery or any other library though).
The code below displays a dialog when the Show Dialog link is clicked. The code works very well except one thing which is that when the text of the page is resized, the dialog doesn't display below the link, how can this be fixed?
