window.showModelessDialog('010826a.html','Doc JavaScript');

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
  alert(dialogArguments);
// -->
</SCRIPT>

The window object property dialogArguments is set to the second parameter passed by showModelessDialog(). We passed the string "Doc JavaScript", and indeed the alert box in 010826a.html pops up this string. Try displaying 010826a.html by itself, and you'll get an undefined parameter error (dialogArguments).
