yanjchan Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I'm basically trying to get Javascript to do exactly what is mentioned in the title. The "flashing title bar" appears as an orange colored, flashing tab in Opera. (haven't checked other browsers) It occurs when you receieve a new message in Gmail's inline chat. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafetski Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 You would run an ajax call every so often (30 seconds or so? Depends on how "instant" the alert needs to be) that checks for a new message in the db. If there is one, flash a message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanjchan Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I realize that I need to do that. What I need to know how to do is visually flash the title bar so it changes color, or something like that. I've begun doubting if Gmail even flashes the title bar... was I hallucinating?
