showModalDialog does not work.
 

I cut and pasted the following link into both Safari and Omniweb, and Omniweb just ignores the link while Safari processes it and pops open the appropriate window (path obfuscated to protect the innocent):

javascript:showModalDialog("http://someplace.internal.com/nnnn/nnnnnn_editCommodityPart.jsp?recordnum=0","","dialogWidth:800px; dialogHeight:400px; status:no; center:yes")

Here is some additional information in the Error log that might help:

Warning: Cannot convert charset "" to string encoding; using default encoding instead

Here is some additional information in the Console (Inspect element):

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: showModalDialog (line 1)


This is an internal site, so I don't want to restrict javascript pop-ups...any way around this?

Thanks.

Looks like this was regressed...

[url]http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14327[/url] says that webcore was changed to fix this problem.

Webkit revision 24276 contains the fix, so it would seem if by r89366 you were on revision 24781, you would have the fix in place.
