Giving Focus to Minimized Web Page

[gi11ies]

I am developing a web page based messaging system, where users log in, and if there is a message they are told on the web page they have a new message(s).

I have a user control in an iframe on the page that checks for a new messages every 30 seconds or so, Im wondering if the user minimizes the web page, is there anyway to make the minimized web page flash (go navy to give it focus in the task bar as to notify the user that there is a new message ... or any other method? Am guessing JavaScript maybe?

Any tips would be great.

Yes it will have to be javascript. Try asking in that forum (forum216) as to what the best method will be.
