I like using a Flash movie for this sort of thing ... Which may sound kinda strange, but I think it's nice to have a transparent flash movie that can periodically check for updates and on a relevant update, play a short sound and animation. Note however that there is absolutely no flash ( as of yet ) on my web-site asside from the demo for my chat-room app ( http://www.turnkey.to/talkontap ) which plays a small sound when you receive a whispered message. The chat room is actually a further development of a "messages" feature in my CMS which allows content authors/providers/editors to communicate quickly without having to change mediums, i.e. aim, icq, email or telephone vs. the browser window in front of them. s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
