AJAX notification when page has changed

Question

Heylo guys,

i have a page that gets new content using AJAX/ASP (a shoutbox-like type of thing). i was wondering if its possible to create a popup window to notify that the page has changed (a new message) when the page is not focused (user in other window/tab)?

thx.

I doubt you'll get anything better than Facebook Chat has - make a Ding! sound, and change the window title to show a new message has arrived. — thirtydot, Mar 29 '11 at 18:45

If i understand it correctly, the page is changed by your code right? then you can popup the window in the ajax callback function: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

$.ajax({
  url: "test.html",
  context: document.body,
  success: function(){
   // popup the window here.
  }
});

You can take a look at this page and see if it works for you. It has code for doing desktop notifications in Chrome. I don't think there is a cross browser way of doing it.

edit: I got the above link from this stackoverflow answer.
