Are there any solutions available for displaying a modal dialog box in web client? I need a good way to display messages to clients and also to get their input (i.e. Enter your email address; Do you want to continue?, etc)

I’m currently on Servoy 3.5.7, but contemplating a move to 4.x when I’ve ironed out my issues with it.

Anything on 3.5.7 to solve this challenge? 4.x?

You can just use the application.showFormInDialog(…)  
it works!

Try my WebDialogs module, it’s free and it’s open source, it’s a good starting point and you can change it if it doesn’t fit all your needs.  
You can download it from here: [http://www.sintpro.com/downloads\_eng.php](http://www.sintpro.com/downloads_eng.php)

Yes, I have used FID. The only problem is that you can’t pause the method for user input. I guess I’ll have to split my methods so the code after the input dialog gets called from a button on the FID and continues on.

Thank you.
