Not even close to what the OP wanted. Yours just specifies text, an empty title, and the fact that it has three buttons (yes, no, cancel). You still need a block statement to handle the response, not to mention the fact that width and height will be determined automagically.
His code specified the height, width, alternate text for the buttons (which some of us want without having to make a new dialog at times) and methods/functions to perform when the buttons are activated. Currently, a wrapper/class/function is the only way to accomplish all that in one line.
NetCaptor is ALOT more than just a wrapper for IE. It's added a ton of features before they were common place. It also helps secure IE alot and at one time, before MS did. Stilesoft has been around for 6 years, NetCaptor has been around longer (though it may have only been seven years now rather than eight).
I never said FF wasn't innovative. And I for one see the sarcasm at IE in the OP, but not the sarcasm directed at FF innovating tabbed browsing. In either case, it has been posted numerous times on/. without any sarcasm. I agree with alot of what you say, but the point is people still believe FF/Opera innovated tabbed interfaces within browsers. That FF was the first browser to have ad blocking. That Opera innovated mouse gestures (although I do believe they were the first to use them in a browser). Even alot of tech-suavy people believe these things. It's getting old, and someone needs to constantly remind people that it's just not the case, even if it's stated in sarcasm of another topic.
Wow people. Stop referring to Tabbed Browsing as Mozilla's/Opera's innovation. Neither one of these innovated it. In fact, I find both of their implementaions to be lacking. I've been using NetCaptor for the past eight years, with tabbed browser. No browser to date still supports tabbed browsing as well as it does. I constantly get new windows for FF open when I selected single application. I've tried numerious plugins. They all miss one or two different areas, and most of them don't play nice with each other. BTW, NetCaptor also had a popup blocker (that worked) and URL blocking (Ad Blocking) long before FF was publically released. It also blocked most of the exploits in IE that MS left open for months. Yeah, so it's not free to get rid of the small ads that appear occasionally, but it was money well spent in my eyes.
Technically, it's half-true. Finding Nemo's full screen version was reframed for standard TVs, including repositioning key objects for the scene so they would not be left out. This is even stated on the back of the DVD case.
IIRC, it was stated somewhere that Pixar plans on doing this with all their future DVDs as well, though I can't find the link for the source anymore.
