MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create the following file as Test.java.

   import	java.applet.Applet;
   import	java.awt.*;
   import	java.awt.event.*;
   import	java.io.*;
   import	java.net.*;
   
   public class Test extends Applet implements ActionListener
   {
   	Button btn1 = new Button ("Modal Dialog");
   	Button btn2 = new Button ("Modeless Dialog");
   
   	public void init ()
   	{
   		btn1.addActionListener (this);
   		btn2.addActionListener (this);
   		add (btn1);
   		add (btn2);
   	}
   
   	public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent ev)
   	{
   		try
   		{
   			Object source = ev.getSource ();
   			SampleDialog dlg;
   
   			System.out.println (((Button) source).getLabel ());
   			if (source == btn1)
   			{
   				dlg = new SampleDialog ((Frame) getParent (), true);
   				dlg.setVisible (true);
   			}
   			else if (source == btn2)
   			{
   				dlg = new SampleDialog ((Frame) getParent (), false);
   				dlg.setVisible (true);
   			}
   		}
   		catch (Exception ex)
   		{
   			System.out.println (ex);
   			ex.printStackTrace ();
   		}
   	}
   }
   
   class SampleDialog extends Dialog implements ActionListener
   {
   	Button btnClose = new Button ("Close");
   
   	SampleDialog (Frame f, boolean mode)
   	{
   		super (f, "Sample Dialog", mode);
   		btnClose.addActionListener (this);
   		setLayout (new BorderLayout ());
   		add (btnClose, BorderLayout.CENTER);
   		pack ();
   	}
   
   	public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent ev)
   	{
   		if (ev.getSource () == btnClose)
   			setVisible (false);
   	}
   }
   					

2. Compile Test.java as follows:

      java Test.java
   					

3. Reference the above Java class in an HTML file as follows:

   <APPLET CODE="Test" WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="400">
   </APPLET>
   					

4. Place both the HTML and Java class files on a Web server.
5. Create a similar Java class and HTML file and place it on another Web server.
6. Launch the first HTML page, and then click the Modal Dialog button.
7. Leave the dialog box open and create a new window in Internet Explorer. Launch the second HTML page and click the Modeless Dialog button.
