An ASP.NET page I've developed in IE is responsible for monitoring multiple server jobs that run overnight. Whenever an error occurs on one of these jobs, a popup window opens using javascript's window.open() function. However, employees often have full-screen applications like Netflix running, causing them to miss the error notification from the popup window. To try and grab their attention, I've included javascript code on the popup page that continuously sets focus to itself, making it blink in the taskbar. Unfortunately, this approach is ineffective as Netflix covers the taskbar.
My current solution involves using setInterval('window.focus()', 500) to attempt to bring the popup window to the front.
I'm now looking for a way to create a popup window in IE that will appear over every other application, regardless of what's currently open. Is there a method to achieve this?
