I am developing a custom application feedback tool. The idea is that when the user launches a particular application, I want a pop-up to appear, say a couple seconds after the user launches the application, that asks if they'd be willing to provide feedback. The pop-up will simply be a new IE window. So, something similar in functionality to:
Response.Write("<script>window.open('" + sUrl + "', 'mywindow','resizable= yes,scrollbars= yes');</script>");
We have numerous web apps (ASP.NET) in our company, and I think the quickest solution would be to drop an HttpModule into the application's solution. For an ideal example, see: http://www.foreseeresults.com/.
QUESTION: Is invoking a new internet browser pop-up possible with an HttpModule? Or is perhaps invoking JavaScript from an HttpModule possible on the client's browser?
You can achieve this by using ASP.NET HTTP Response Filters.
You implement your custom filter and then set it inside a custom HttpModule or inside a Global.asax file by handling the PostReleaseRequestState event.
Bellow is an article by Scott Mitchel on HTTP Response Filters.

This article contains two simple response filters, which should give you the right direction on how to implement your case. I suggest you to display a modal dialog using jQuery and display a message. When user confirms that dialog open a new web page in new window (this way you'll also get around popup blockers).
Hope this helps!
