Is there a way to cause the taskbar button of the browser to flash/blink? I want to be notified when a certain thing happens in a script that runs continuously, i.e.,
if($x == 5)
{
//browser taskbar button flashs
}
 

AFAIK, this can only be done with a Windows API call... You might be able to do this somehow with the WSH ActiveX control, but I'm not sure if it can be done any other way, or in any other browser other than IE. Maybe someone else knows more?

Hope this helps,
Dan
