It is deprecated. Please see my previous answer - ' window.ShowModalDialog ' not working in Chrome[^].

You can use window.open() or jQuery UI Dialog methods.

window.open should work in every browser. Have you checked the browser console if there are any errors or not?

If there is a space in the second parameter, it won't work. So, check it out.

You just don't have this function-type property in the object window in the browser you are using. This feature is deprecated and is going. Please see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/showModalDialog[^].

Don't use this function. There are many way better alternatives, such as jQuery dialog:
https://jqueryui.com/dialog[^].

Note that such dialogs (there are many more components like that collectively known "modal popup", with different features, such as visual effects, transitions, etc.) doesn't show "real" popup, but mimic modal behavior on the same page, which is much better.
