Launch sound file with 'log on' button

[Blueie]

Hello

I have a default ASP page which is where users type in a username to login to a chat. But at the moment, the Webmaster is unaware that a site visitor wishes to chat, so I was hoping to create a sound alert to notify the Webmaster (the sound should not be heard by the site visitor).

I imagine that the sound would need to load when the user presses the log-in button, and that I would need to use <embed>sound.mp3</embed>, but I am unsure where to put it in my stripped down code below:

Dim mode, errorMessage
	mode = Request("mode")
	If (mode = "userLogin") Then
		
		Dim userName
		userName = Server.HTMLEncode(Request("username"))
		
		If (countUsers() >= USERS) Then
			errorMessage = getMsg("error.maximum_users_reached")
		ElseIf (Len(userName) = 0)  Then
			errorMessage = getMsg("error.missing_username")
		ElseIf (Len(userName) > MAX_USERNAME_LENGTH) Then
			errorMessage = getMsg("error.username_length_exceeded", MAX_USERNAME_LENGTH)
		ElseIf (userExists(userName)) Then
			errorMessage = getMsg("error.username_in_use")
		ElseIf (NOT isValidUsername(userName)) Then
			errorMessage = getMsg("error.invalid_username")
		ElseIf (isUserNameBlocked(userName)) Then
			errorMessage = getMsg("error.username_blocked")
		Else
			Dim p
			Set p = New Person
			p.id = -1
			p.name = userName
			p.roomId = 0
			p.ipAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
			
			' new chat user so create new id
			Set p = addUser(p)
			
			' tell all other users about this new user
			Call addMessage( _
				p.id, _
				"-1", _
				"<span class=LoggedIn><img src='images/new.gif' height=9 width=9>&nbsp;" & getMsg("user.logged_on", p.name, Now()) & "</span><br>" _
			)
			Session("user") = p.data
			
			' redirect to new frame and create new user login
			Response.Redirect("frames.asp")
			Response.End
			
		End If
......

<%= getMsg("login.join_chat", getMsg("application.name") & " " & getMsg("application.version")) %></td>
.......
<input type=text name=username value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(userName) %>" 
.......
<input type=submit class=btn name=login value="<%= getMsg("button.login") %>" border=0 tabindex=2 title="<%= getMsg("button.login.title") %>"></td>

Thanks for any advice/help.

Does the "webmaster" sit in the same room as the webserver?
