How do OWA creates the new mail notification popup?

YK
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".

Hi Winista!

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?

The window that you see is no more than a DIV. 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.

Well, I tried it with our OWA and it pops even when the browser is
minimized... Is it possible to set the location of a DIV to a location that
is outside the browser?

Check before using it. This method I believe is IE specific.

That's ok... It's for our intranet portal - we all use IE.
