Those methods allow aparameter to be passed to the dialog box window, and the dialogArgumentsproperty letsscripts inside the dialog box window s scripts access that parameter value.

Scriptscan access these properties from the main window only for modeless dialog boxes, whichremain visible while the user can control the main window contents. Values for these properties are strings and include the unit of measure, the pixel (px).

The following function assumes that the document in the dialog box has a buttonwhose label also toggles between Show Details and Hide Details. The button s onclickevent handler invokes the function as toggleDetails(this). function toggleDetails(btn) { if (dialogHeight == 200px ) { dialogHeight = 350px ; btn.value = Hide Details ; } else { dialogHeight = 200px ; btn.value = Show Details ; } } windowObject.defaultStatus
