Not able to open modal dialog in Chrome

Hi All,

In my Visual force page while clicking on a lookup icon, I need to open a popup window to select list of available options

Am using the following line of code to open a popup.
window.showModalDialog('/apex/CustomCausalityLookup', passvalue, 'dialogHeight:450px; dialogWidth:700px;');
it is working as expected in FireFox but in Chrome pop up is not coming.(I have checked the Chrome browser settings and checked Allow popup option ...)
While cliking on a link in Chrome am getting the following error in developer console

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function AddNewCause?retURL=%2Fa05%2Fl%3FretURL%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fc.na15.visual.force.com%252Fapex%252FS…:75
openlookup
AddNewCause?retURL=%2Fa05%2Fl%3FretURL%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fc.na15.visual.force.com%252Fapex%252FS…:75
onclick
AddNewCause?retURL=%2Fa05%2Fl%3FretURL%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fc.na15.visual.force.com%252Fapex%252FS…:12

Any idea..??
If anyone need more info about the page am ready to give..

Thanks in advance
Chitra

Actually this ModalDialog is deprecated in Chrome 37..So we can not use this method to open a popup.

We need to use window.open method
window.open('Page URL'+ '?ParameterName'+ ParameterValue,"","scrollbars=1,resizable=1,Width=1420px,Height=400px,Top=180,Left=80");
This did the magic..
To assign values for parent window properties from Child window i have used window.opener
window.opener.returnValue ="xyz"
Also we can access the parent window method in child window
window.opener.setReturnedValues(values)
Thats it...

Thank you Sumit for your time.

You need to right click on link and inspect element; then compare HTML compiled by Firefox and Chrome and you will get to understand where is difference. Don't forget to check console also. You might need to push more robust "Id" kind of values.

My best guess is; you are facing error because VF pages always fall on different domain "visual.force.com" and this might be cross domain referencing issue which work in Firefox but Chrome don't handle it.

Hi Sumit,

Thank you for you reply..
I just had a look on the inspect element in both browser,there is no much difference.

But in Firefox console am not getting any error.

But in Chrome am getting the following errors,

The errors are,

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'call' of null

Can you change your 
https://c.na15.visual.force.com/support/console/25.0/integration.js
to
https://c.na15.visual.force.com/support/console/30.0/integration.js
So it uses latest JS APIs! Secondly, it sounds like this is cross domain issue based on "xdomain.js:4Sfdc.xdomain.IframeInterface.handleOnload iframeinterface.js:1window.onload" there.

Is your showheader="false"? if yes then make it true and see if it works! It should, with my best guess.

Sorry Sumit,this showheader value change is not fixing the issue
