1. showModalDialog() is non-standard and not supported by Firefox.
Use window.open() if you need a new window.
2. I'm guessing that you're using the onclick event handler of a
link to invoke your function, and IE is waiting until after you
close the dialog to follow that link. Have your event handler
return false to prevent that:
onclick="ShowTutorial(...);return false"
