flashing title bar

I've made a chat page using php and javascript. Which is nice. But I'd
really like the title bar to flash when a new message appears for users who
have minimised the window, like msn. Does any body know how do do this? The
only one's i've found animate the title text, which isn't what i'm going
for.

Thanks :)

Then you 're out of luck I 'm afraid. The window title bar colour is not
within the programmer's range. You cannot change my homepage and buttons and
icons either.

Flashing title bars are boring anyway. Some seriously interesting animations
have been realized manipulating just the title text, using ascii art
techniques. There is always room for creativity.

Hi Does anyone know how to make a table row flash in a certain colour, depending on a DB value? I have a helpdesk application listing statuses of Agents and the calls queued on the system. When a call is queued, I wish to make that Agent's Table row, flash.

Hello, I know there is no way in Javascript to make the task bar flash when your window is minimised. However, I found out recently that if a javascript alert is sent to netscape when the window is minimised the task bar will flash! msie however doesn't do this, it will happily put the alert box up infront of all your other windows. My question is: Is there any way to tie this box down to this window so a minimised msie window will flash...

Hello Everybody Can you let me know of a javascript/dom routine that will automatically put the flashing cursor in the first text box in my form so that it is ready for entry rather than the user having to click into the first textbox with their mouse. Please note that my forms are created dynamically so I won't know the given name of the first textbox so some form of index would be better.

Strange problem on A2K. A continuous form is getting some sort of strobe effect on several systems that have been upgraded to Windows XP (never saw the problem on Win2K). One of the text boxes is flashing the contents. Users are calling it "Slot Machine Mode". Anyone ever run into something like this? Any suggestions appreciated.

I have tried everything under the sun to get rid of horrible flashing and flickering that occurs on a CSharp form when the form hosts a TreeView or WebBrowser control and then you resize the form. Here is what I've tried so far: 1. Turning off CS_VREDRAW and CS_HREDRAW in both the parent form and a subclass of the control via the "override CreateParams" property (these values were already off). 2. Setting various styles and handling...
