intimation in live chat

[omerbutt]

hi every on i have a live chat script based on php ajax i want that when any user send a message ,if the chat window of the other user is minimized he would be intimated by blinking the title bar so that the person should know that someone is sending a message,is this possible .

This won't be done in PHP since PHP is processed and completes at the server before it even gets to the user's browser.

I think it would be more appropriate question for the JavaScript forum.

Good luck,

You could set the title at regular intervals using setInterval and document.title.

I assume that there's polling going on where the chat application is regularly making requests to see if there's a message. If there's a message, you have code at the client which informs the user.
