nikhilthecool Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Everyone has seen the yahoo messenger, where when we receive a new message, the minimised window starts blinking with a sound.I want to implement something similar here.I retrive rows from a mysql database in a window which is being refreshed every 5 secs. So all i want is whenever there is a new row added in the database and it is retrieved on refresh, i want the window to blink, in case it is minimised.Is this possible in php? Or in javascript or anyother scripting language??Please share something if u know.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 the javascript 'alert'/confirm/prompt functions all cause this to happen even if the window is minimized. only problem is that it can often depend on the user's setup (browser, O/S, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
