Why? I missed that somewhere... Anyway, browser vendors are not going to allow "true" chromeless windows (i.e. without any features that identify them as a browser window and allow a user to identify the URL), spec or no spec. If, for some reason I didn't catch, that also implies that modal dialogs (which I still believe to be a Very Bad Idea That Has No Place On The Web) are impossible then we should just consider both ideas dead and cut down the amount of mail people have to wade through. -- "It seems to be a constant throughout history: In every period, people believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you would have gotten in terrible trouble for saying otherwise." -- http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html
