How do OWA creates the new mail notification popup?Hi !
I saw that in Outlook Web Access (OWA) you get small notification window when a new e-mail is received even when the browser window is minimized and it appears at the right corner of the screen. I developed a web application and I'd like to generate a similar popup window to notify the user on new events. I tried many ideas but no success so far... I would like to know if someone here knows how they do that... Thanks in advance, Yuval. a timer runs on the page. when timer fires a request is sent to server
asking for events and based on the reponse, pop window is shown. This is what is these days called "AJAX".

That's what I thought, but two things still doesn't seem fit with this explaination: 1. Could it load a window that has no border and does not appear in the taskbar and do all that when the browser is minimized? 2. I have a popup blocker enabled in my browser, how does it knows not to block this one? and how can I assure that my web application's popup window will not get blocked by popup blockers?

So it is upto you to specify
style for it, border or no borders. Its all upto you. I am not sure if the popup comes up when browser is mimimized. Since the windows is a DIV and not an actual browser window, so popup blocker can't block it. See the following link and see couple of examples on it and see how poups appear even when you have popup blocker. http://www.netomatix.com/products/popuphelp/default.aspx Winista http://www.universalshoppingmall.com Show quote "YK" <Y*@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B5D57AC2-D04A-46D2-9767-70A38A8471E4@microsoft.com... > Hi Winista! > > That's what I thought, but two things still doesn't seem fit with this > explaination: > 1.
