Also, as I said, alert, confirm and prompt are dialogs to show a message, or get user inoput, they are not supposed to show a web view, while window.showModalDialog() is actually a shortcut for window.open with the dialog feature.

The fact that you can emulate a prompt dialog with showModalDialog doesn't mean it's the same thing. With showModalDialog you load a new web view in a new toplevel, so you can do whatever you want. Prompt dialogs don't load a web view.
