Examples
    When the Payment Module of SiteKiosk is active, the following example permits using the currency formatter object from within the dialog HTML page. This demonstrates how to attach SiteKiosk objects to a dialog. 

    <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
window.external.InitScriptInterface();
mycfm = SiteKiosk.Plugins("SiteCash").CreateCurrencyFormatter();
mydialog = SiteKiosk.SiteKioskUI.CreateHTMLDialog();
mydialog.Border = true;
mydialog.ScrollBars = true;
mydialog.Sysmenu = true;
mydialog.Title = true;
mydialog.Width = 300;
mydialog.URL = "http://www.myserver.com/mydialog.html";
mydialog.AttachDispatch("mycfm", mycfm);
mydialog.ShowDialog();
</SCRIPT>

    The follwing example shows that you can attach any object to the dialog. 

    Listing for the file that creates the dialog:

<html>
<head>
	<title>CreateHTMLDialog Test Page</title>
</head>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
	window.external.InitScriptInterface();
	
	function CreateNewDialog(){
		var MyObject = new Object();
		MyObject.Testvalue = 1;
	
		var MyDialog = SiteKiosk.SiteKioskUI.
		CreateHTMLDialog();
		MyDialog.Border = true;
		MyDialog.ScrollBars = true;
		MyDialog.Sysmenu = true;
		MyDialog.Title = true;
		MyDialog.Width = 350;
		//Change according to path and name 
		of the file for the dialog
		MyDialog.URL = "file://C:\\Program 
		Files (x86)\\SiteKiosk\\Html\\dialog.html";
		MyDialog.AttachDispatch("DialogObject", 
		MyObject);
		MyDialog.ShowDialog();
	}
</SCRIPT>
<body>
	<input type="button" onclick="CreateNewDialog();" 
	value="CreateHTMLDialog Test" />
