Description Robbie Paplin 2008-03-31 13:09:47 PDT
Description:
According to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines regarding Title Bar Buttons

"Document and application windows always display active close and minimize buttons..." and "Alerts and modal dialogs do not display any of these buttons."

See Figure 14-7 from http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_18_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000961-TPXREF49

Actual Results:
windows created by showModalDialog in Mac Safari have close & minimize buttons.

Expected Results:
I'd expect the windows created by showModalDialog in Mac Safari to have the same title bar as alerts in Mac Safari and a similar title bar as Mac Firefox does

As noted, this issue is in Safari and not in WebKit.  Closing as INVALID to represent that this is not a WebKit issue and will be tracked via Radar.
