On my company's helpdesk webpage (http://63.84.230.90/magictsd) there is a login
pop-up window that should appear.  It does not, even though I have set Fiefox to
allow pop-ups and to allow the site.  I checked the Tools > Javascript Console
page, and the following error is displayed:  Error: window.showModalDialog is
not a function Source File: http://63.84.230.90/magictsd/  Line: 75

Not sure how to fix this.  This worked/works correctly in IE 6.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  type in URL
2.  pop-up window does not appear
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing - pop-up window does not appear.

Expected Results:  
Login pop-up window should have appeared and allowed me to log into my site.

This is due to that window.showModalDialog is IE only. Not support by Mozilla.
Use window.open instead.
