<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
  var a = new Array;
  a[0]="first";
  a[1]="second";
  a[2]="third";
// -->
</SCRIPT>

And we pass the array a to the dialog box:

window.showModelessDialog('010827a.html',a);

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
  a = dialogArguments;
  a[0] = "fourth";
// -->
</SCRIPT>

The callee changed the first element of the array and it should be reflected in the caller page. Let's try it. First, let's make sure the array a is as we initialized it: "first,second,third". Now, call 010827a.html to change it:

window.showModelessDialog('010827a.html',a);
