Especially if it had been done that way from the beginning. :) But more generally, I wonder if it's worth bothering with now... It's pretty common for web pages to just implement their own custom in-content dialogs (floating divs, really), which they have far greater control over. And starting with Firefox 4, we're making these prompts tab-modal and non-native looking, so there's not much to be gained by having the UA provide these. [Other than the side-effects of entering a modal state, where some timers/events are suppressed. But I'm not sure that's a desirable feature in and of itself.] Justin
