This doesn't seem to be possible (at least with IE6 on XP) -- the link will not load in the background while the modal dialog is still being displayed. If you want a cross-platform solution (i.e. one that does what you want, and doesn't require IE in the first place) it may be worth having a look at: http://www.dannyg.com/support/modalFix.html and his original article at: http://developer.netscape.com/viewsource/goodman_modal/goodman_modal.html He explains it a lot better than I could!
