<font face='Tahoma'>ASP - Pop-Up Reminder

got the eCRM almost done...solved a few MAJOR hurdles...thanks to

the crew at Haneng.com ...now I'm trying to figure out how to

implement some kind of call scheduler..that can pop-up at a given time

(when rep schedules a call back to customer) I know ASP is static..so I

was thinking maybe Java...

anyone know where to start or seen something similar around the

net...

This is what I would like to accomplish w/ ASP if possible..

Display a pop-up reminder, a short message that is programmed to

"pop-up" at pre-defined time intervals.

Each reminder could be set to "go-off" at a particular date and time, or

at regular intervals as specified by the user.

Once the reminder notice is displayed, the user can :

--View the reminder by clicking on a "View" button
--Cancel the reminder by clicking on the "Cancel" button
--Click on a "Snooze" or "Re-schedule" button to dismiss the reminder

until another convenient time

The pop-up reminder will only "pop-up", or be displayed for the user

who initially set the reminder.

There may be other cleaner methods but this is what sprung to mind. Because ASP is static then it is tricky for a web page that is only alive during the time it loads to keep track of the current time so hows about something like this....

This would work if the system will be running at all times (ie, browser always open in site).

Embed a wee (invisible if necessary) Flash movie in a frame that is visible in the whole system, so the site will run in another frame. This Flash movie can then run all the time and passing variables to and from it, control actions, ie a pop up, at a time specified.

Im not sure if you could try it in the same frame but the flash would refresh with every page and im not sure as to its accuracy.

Still, its only an option.
