The question describes exactly what i want to know . What is the difference between a modal window and a dialogue. When a modal window becomes a dialogue and vice versa ? How do i go about achieving both ? A nudge in the right direction will be very much appreciated .
A modal window is a windows that runs on top of an application, so that you can’t do anything at all with the applciation until you have closed the modal window.
A jQuery dialog is not a separate window, so technically it can’t be a modal window. It can however emulate most of what a modal window does, by putting an overlay element over the rest of the page so that you can’t interact with it.
