Good afternoon, as I am not good at javascript, so I need the masters here to help me. I am building a browser system for a company. In this system will happen several events, and as I wrote in the title, I need a code so that when the user receives a new message of some event occurred, the browser tab is flashing.
I know I can do this with alert
javascript (I believe), and if I have to do it that way, I would like something simple, and it would disappear when the user opened that window that is blinking.
I found an example in the stackoverflow of "gringa" https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3381462/how-to-create-the-title-alert-effect-like-facebook, that meets, in part, this need, because it keeps changing the title and this draws the user’s attention. But I wish there was a way to blink, if there is, of course.
Follow the code I found:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
var original = document.title;
var timeout;
window.flashTitle = function (newMsg, howManyTimes) {
function step() {
document.title = (document.title == original) ? newMsg : original;
if (--howManyTimes > 0) {
timeout = setTimeout(step, 1000);
};
};
howManyTimes = parseInt(howManyTimes);
if (isNaN(howManyTimes)) {
howManyTimes = 5;
};
cancelFlashTitle(timeout);
step();
};
window.cancelFlashTitle = function () {
clearTimeout(timeout);
document.title = original;
};
}());
</script>
Suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you
Friend I believe you will not be able to do the effect you want. A tip is to use desktop notifications, take a look at this plugin https://github.com/ttsvetko/HTML5-Desktop-Notifications. Once the user allows the notifications, he starts receiving the messages on the desktop even with the browser minimized. I use this way and my users liked it. I will look for other plugins, if you know something put for you.
