Description Robbie Paplin 2008-03-31 14:57:39 PDT 
Actual:
When you dismiss a window created by showModalDialog the calling browser window stays inactive (even though the dialog disappears)

If you dismiss a window created by alert or confirm, it works as expected (the calling browser window becomes active)

Expected:
When you dismiss a window created by alert, confirm, or showModalDialog the browser window becomes active

Note: This problem happens on both Windows & Macintosh versions of Safari

showModalDialog support is gone from other browser and recently from Webkit Github source as well:

Do we need to work on this? Thanks!
