How to open a modal window?

IE4/5 have
  var r = showModalDialog('url', argumentsObject, 'featureString');

NN4 has a undocumented modal feature for the window.open function but 
this requires trusted script:
  netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege
('UniversalBrowserWrite');
  var w = open ('http://www.faqts.com', 'faqts', 
      'modal=1,width=300,height=300,rezisable=1,scrollbars=1');

The given goodman url has a cross browser modal window simulation.

It seems that NN6 has
  openDialog('url', 'windowName', 'modal=1,width=300,height=300')
