flashing the title bar

[rabon]

hey all,

I'm working on some kind of chat program. What I want to do now, is when there is a new message, flash the title bar of that window. (like chat programs often do (msn) )I mean not just changing the text, but flashing the background. I don't know if it's even possible, can it be done? and if so, does somebody know how ?


thanks in advance,

Rabon

you want to flash the actual title bar of the browser page or just something in a <div>, <span>, etc?

[rabon]

yes, I want the title bar to flash, changing the background. not with div or span tags, the title bar that you also see when the browser window is minimized

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
setInterval ("document.title = /fee/.test(document.title) ? 'FEE, FIE, FOE, FUM' : 'fee, fie, foe, fum'", 50)
// -->
</script>

Hi Thanks
I can see your code changing the text at the bottom when it is minimized but it will not flash

i have tried the getAttention() function but this will not work with IE
