I'm really glad you posted this 'htunnicliff', because I'm manually maintaining a 'stack' of Dialog elements, along with an associated full-bleed 'background' overlay to block mouse clicks outside the dialog, and it will be really nice if I can get this (dialog element) to work and replace my code with something simpler. I'm assuming dialog elements can overlay other dialog elements!! I'll try!

So a few years ago I went into my chrome configuration and added a new custom "Site Search". It's shortcut is "mdn" and the URL is "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=%s&w=3&qs=plugi..."

Now you can just "mdn <something>" in your omnibar and it will take you straight to the subject page or to a search results page.

I find this shortcut invaluable when developing for the web.

very helpful link, thanks! I don't know what ominibar is (maybe Mac stuff), but I'm on Linux, but I replaced the "q=%s" with my string and it works. nice!
"omnibar" is just chrome's slightly pretentious name for the address bar.
cool, thanks.
Thanks! I used it today and thought others might enjoy.
