Talk:Modal window
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi.
I noticed that there are 2 occurrences of the same typo/error. You typed "modeless" instead of "modaless" - the opposite programming design for GUI. It is in the last paragraph of the document.
I would appreciate if you fix it.

[edit] Modaless vs. Modeless
As a programmer, I have always known this term is "modaless" as opposed to "modal". You can check anywhere in the printed books as well as known sites such as Codeguru, etc. It is definitely Modaless. If you don't agree, I would suggest that at least it will be added between parentheses. Thanks.
- Both words come from the Human-Computer Interaction field, where "modal" and "modeless" are words derived from the root word "mode". Thus deriving "modaless" from "modal" is an error, though it's easy to see why programmers (who only see the term "modal" in the context of modal windows) could commit that error. I have created a redirection from Modaless to Modeless to facilitate finding it. Diego 19:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I'll keep that in mind.
[edit] NPOV
Clearly this entire article was written by an anti-modal activist, for the sole purpose of demonstrating the overuse and inadequacy of modal windows. --64.149.36.43 (talk) 21:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
