revBrowser and modal stack

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jbv,

One possibility is that the external works but that the page doesn't 
load because the modal dialog is blocking. Not very likely to be the 
case, though.

Another possibility is that the modal dialog disaplays on top of the 
browser window. The browser isn't a real control but a window drawn on 
top of the stack window. Modal dialogs are drawn in a layer in front of 
all other windows of an app, possibly including the browser windows. 
That means that you can't do what you want.
