Here's one way (if I understand what you're asking):

Caller:
------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Caller Document</title>

<script type="text/JScript">

function showDialog(dialogLocation){

showModelessDialog(dialogLocation, window);

}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<button onclick="showDialog('dialog-1.html')">ShowDialog 1</button>

</body>
</html>
------------------------------------

====================================

callee #1: (save as "dialog-1.html")
------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>dialog-1</title>

<script type="text/JScript">

function nextDialog(dialogLocation){

dialogArguments.showDialog(dialogLocation);

window.close();
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<button onclick="nextDialog('dialog-2.html')">ShowDialog 2</button>

</body>
</html>
------------------------------------

====================================

callee #2: (save as "dialog-2.html")
------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>dialog-2</title>
</head>

<body>

This is dialog-2.

</body>
</html>
------------------------------------

The first dialog should close itself... is that not happening?

Well, it worked for me anyway.

So, it doesn't seem that htmlDialogs were meant to be navigable -- something to do with security, perhaps?

You might try simulating modality with a normal window; I think there's an example in the post-a-javascript forum...

That's the behavior of modal dialogs in IE. Links and form submissions are opened in a new window.
