If you mean using plain Javascript clientside in a browser without
compromizing security:

No, no.

What a unnecessarily cryptic response that is just cluttering news
readers. Are you looking to increase you post count?

I believe what Thomas is struggling to imply is that if the user agent
(e.g. a browser) provides an API that could produce a beep or allow
some other technique like including Flash movie, for example, than a
beep could be initiated by a JavaScript function which calls that API.
The JavaScript language itself does not have such a function.

Thomas is not cryptic at all.

The idea that the questions "Is there any?" and "Is it possible?"
should(!) be answered bij anything else as
'Yes', 'No', 'Maybe' or 'Dunno'
is preposterous.

This is usenet and not a helpdesk.

Even so the second answer should also be a firm "no" if plain clientside
javascript in one of the more common browsers with default security
settings is ment.

Like in?:

<a href='javascript:document.write("\x07");'>Grrr, damn it !</a>

or

<script type='text/javascript'>
document.write("\x07");
</script>

IE testing:

Does not sound[,] right[.?]
