    <p>I know W3C just publish their draft version of Web Notification to notify user.

If it does not have fine library, I will create it with myself.</p> <p><strong>Update I</strong></p> <p>Since IE8, it does not allow us to display popup outside current browser. For example, when IE is minimized, all popups are not displayed. So, Google Chrome is only one browser that has fully web notification API (FF 4 also has non-documented web notification API but it not work for now).</p>
