Let me describe the problem

copy the following text into a file called index.htm
-----------------
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body >
<script type="text/jscript" language="JavaScript">
self.showModalDialog("glossary.htm","","&quot

</script>
</body>
</html>
-----------------
and the following one into a file called glossary.htm
-----------------
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<A name=top href="#a" >this is the first</A>
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla 
bla bla bla bla bla 
 
<A name=a href="#top" >return to top</A> 
</body>
</html>
--------------
Open index.htm with IE 5.5
the window will pop up in modal mode, if you click on the link,it will be showed the lower part of the page

With IE 5.0x clicking on the link cause the opening of a new window in modeless way

Has someone evr met this problem ? how can i solve it ?
I don't want the new window i like the way it works on IE 5.5, but i think is better not to force the user to update their IE 5.0 browsers!!!

Thanks to all who will help me. :-(
