XML Server Getting Started    

      This window will not get active until user logs on ... 

On it's 

onLoad

 event window pops up 

/Examples/Tutorial/step6.jsp 

as a dialog box: 

        var isLogonOK = window.showModalDialog(dlgURL, dlgParm, dlgProps); 

This activates the dialog box populated 

step6.jsp 

and deactivates our window. In fact, so far our window has not been active 

at all.  The dialog properties   last argument of 

showModalDialog

 method   is set to size dialog box to 300 by 200 pixels, 

place it in the center of the screen and eliminate status line: 

        var dlgProps = "center:yes;dialogWidth:300px;dialogHeight:200px;status:no"; 

The boolean value returned by 

showModalDialog

 function is used to set the value of 

status

 to either  succeeded  or  failed : 

        var status = isLogonOK?"succeeded":"failed"; 

This assignment is not happening (flow of control does not come back to window::onLoad() function) until modal dialog is 

closed. Then window changes its appearance and becomes active. 

To illustrate the mechanism of passing parameters to dialog boxes we will enhance our example so that subsequent use of the 

logon window prompts user's ID as of the last successful logon. Specifically, upon successful login we will store that value 

in a 

cookie

 so that it will persist on user's computer. Accordingly, we will be reading this 

cookie

 and passing it's value as an 

argument to 

showModalDialog()

 function. 

 First, let's revise the dialog box scripting section 

(/Examples/Tutorial/step7.jsp

):
