Re: Opening modal window without user action

Hi, just to be curious, what is the best way to accomplish what Bruno
is trying to achieve?
What if instead of showing page with mobile window, the user is
redirected to the survey page with a easily distinguishable link to
skip the survey on the top? This holds for if the page comes in the
sequence of some process.
Otherwise, if it is independent single page, how about putting link to
survey at some well designed heading or making an accessible banner
linked to survey page?

I read somewhere that 98 percent of the internet users hate pop-ups.
