To all intents and purposes this is a window object, except that because it is modal, it is placed on top of all other windows, and until it is disposed of, no other browser windows can be accessed.
Some early documentation suggests that there are dialog sizing properties for this window type but this has not been confirmed to work.
On the new version 6.0 Netscape browser, there is the tantalizing possibility that the appearance of dialog boxes can be affected by altering the 'skin' of the browser. As yet, this does not appear to be scriptable or accessible from HTML. It is highly likely that internally the appearance is JavaScript driven. Historically, much of the internal behavior of Netscape has been controlled by .js files so this may change.
