I'm working on an application where the javascript code in the web browser
keeps polling the server for new messages through Ajax and web services. How
do I display a popup baloon from the notification area on the taskbar, just
like what Outlook Web does?

You would have to install an ActiveX control on the user's machine. That
functionality is not accessible from a browser.

This is off-topic in an asp group. Client-side issues are more typically
discussed in the scripting groups (microsoft.public.scripting.jscript).
ASP is server-side functionality.
