Pop Up Control + Private Messaging in ASP.NET Forums App

Paschal blog about a Pop Up control for ASP.NET recently, which is so nice and a great feature - drag and drop - will be added in the next version too. :)

Popup control in Internet Explorer and Mozilla

Actually, I wrote a private message module “plug” in the ASP.NET Forum application for the Hong Kong .NET user group in July, where my development team create a very similar pop up window when new message arrive.

Screen Shot:

 

This feature actually inspired by the MSN messenger - a small window pop up to alert current logged in user when new email arrive. By borrowing this concept, we used a small iframe and keep refreshing in a certain period of time and check whether any new private message for the user, and then a small layer will be popped up at the lower right hand corner of the screen to notify the user, provided that (s)he had logged into the ASP.NET Forums.

The information and source can be found at here:

  • I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your site. It appears as though some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a problem with my web browser because I've had this happen previously.

    Thanks
