ShowModalDialog not supported in Chrome

Question

Window.open()

Is not returning the value

Like

Var retVal = Window.showModalDialog();

How to get it for the Chrome browser?

I remember `showModalDialog` is deprecated and you should avoid using it, most browsers removed it's functionality — Sasha, Jan 10 '20 at 14:53
Per [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/showModalDialog): "This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it." — , Jan 10 '20 at 16:33

Of course, Window.showModalDialog is a JavaScript method unique to Internet Explorer, and no other browser supports this specific method.

If you don't consider the incompatibility of the method, you can use Window.open to override Window.showModalDialog instead.

Or refer to the link below, which mentions a compatible alternative.
