    <p>
        This page shows you how you can easily integrate the charts with other external Javascript libraries. This particular example
        adds a context menu to the chart, of which the only option is to show a login dialog. This could, for example, be used to
        allow logging in to an admin area.
    </p>
    
    <p>
        The dialog doesn't need to require user input - it could just be a static "Please wait..." type dialog, which is shown while a
        subsequent page loads that takes a few seconds.
    </p>
        
    <p>
        The ModalDialog was originally an external library, however it's now part of the RGraph package. It's also covered by the
        RGraph license - so if you have an <a href="licensing.html">RGraph license</a>, then the ModalDialog is part of that.
    </p>

    <p>
        If you're interested in using this modal dialog, then you'll probably also want the CSS that styles it. This can be found in the
        &quot;css&quot; directory.
    </p>

    <a name="msie"></a>
    <h3>Note about Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and the ModalDialog</h3>
    
    <p>
        Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 only supports fixed positioning in strict rendering mode, therefore you must specify a DTD
        when using this browser. Eg:
    </p>
    
    <pre class="code">
&lt;!DOCTYPE html &gt;
</pre>

    <a name="hiding"></a>
    <h3>Hiding the ModalDialog</h3>
    <p>
        To hide the ModalDialog (from a "Cancel" button for example), you can use the Close() method:
    </p>
    
    <pre class="code">
&lt;input type="reset" value="Cancel" onclick="ModalDialog.Close()"&gt;
</pre>

    <a name="customising"></a>
    <h3>Customising the ModalDialog</h3>
        <p>
            You can customise the appearance of the ModalDialog by using three CSS classes, which are documented <a href="css.html">here</a>.
            This page customises the dialog slightly by changing the shadow X/Y offsets:
        </p>
        
        <pre class="code">
&lt;style&gt;
    /*
    * These are the CSS classes that you can use to customise the appearance of the ModalDialog. If you're trying to
    * override something which the scripts set, then because of the ordering you may need to use the "! important"
    * modifier.
    */
    
    /**
    * This is the semi-opaque background
    */
    .ModalDialog_background {
    }


    /**
    * This is the dialog itself
    */
    .ModalDialog_dialog {
        -webkit-box-shadow: gray 0 0 15px ! important;
        -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 15px gray ! important;
        box-shadow: 0 0 15px gray ! important;
    }


    /**
    * This is gray bar at the top of the dialog
    */

    <h3>ModalDialog integration</h3>
        <p>
            To integrate the ModalDialog look at the sample code above (the key line is where the context menu is defined). The method you should call is <b>ModalDialog.Show(id, width)</b>.
            The <i>id</i> is the <i>id</i> of the layer to use. Only the <i>.innerHTML</i> is used, not the layer itself, so it can be hidden by
            setting the display CSS <i>display</i> property to <i>none</i>. The <i>width</i> is a number which is used as the width of the dialog.
        </p>
        
        <p>
            The only library needed for the ModalDialog to work is <i>RGraph.modaldialog.js</i> - you do not need to use
            <i>RGraph.common.js</i>. This makes for far smaller download requirements.

    <h3>Covering the scroll bars</h3>
        <p>
            Normally, a regular DIV lives inside the browser and cannot cover the scroll bars. There is however a way to achieve
            this but it does mean that restructuring your website may be necessary, and it's done by using an IFRAME. The following
            steps are involved:
        </p>
        
        <ol>
            <li style="margin-top: 0">The index page of your website creates an IFRAME and sets it to cover the entire window.</li>
            <li style="margin-top: 0">This IFRAME then loads the website.</li>
            <li style="margin-top: 0">The DIV then covers the top-most window.</li></li>
        </ol>
        
        <p style="margin-bottom: 50px">
            There is an example of this technique <a href="iframe-setup.html"><b>here</b></a>
        </p>
