Make Browser Window Blink in Task Bar
Hello
I want to notify that something interesting has happened in a web page which is in a browser window or a tab.
Eg. In Gmail chat, if you are in a different tab/window and if some one pings you in the chat the tab glows and shows some description running.
How to do that in Javascript/JQuery?
Thank you.
NLV – one way to do this would be to have a setInterval() running against an ajax method on your base page (which all other pages are inherited from) which gets initialised in the $(window).ready event. the method inside the setInterval() would poll for your interesting updates via the ajax call and if anything of interest was found, then a div would be added to the page flow which had a link to the relevant interesting new content (it could roll down in a similar way to the stackoverflow div that rolls down from the top if you’ve earned a new badge etc).
that would be my approach to the problem.
