The user agent is able to control the placement and size of the dialog for the optimal user experience; the author doesn't have to give a position at all. (Indeed, the author is in no position to know what the best size should be, since it could vary based on the user's preferences, font settings, etc.) > I'm also curious as to why the signature does not match the currently > implemented version of the API in most major browsers (Chrome, Safari, > IE, FF)? Since the features argument is the last argument, and it does nothing in HTML5, I figured it was simpler to just omit it (extra arguments are ignored). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
