How to alert a user [SOLVED]
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2005 4:56 am
I have a page which is designed to be watched by a user over a period of a few hours. The page automatically reloads to show the latest info, and that works OK.
My problem is that after a while, the screensaver kicks in and the user needs to be alerted to look at the screen.
I thought I would just embed a sound effect, which is no drama really, but I am wondering if this is the best answer to this problem.
Anyone have any ideas ... I was thinking maybe an applet to handle the sound output, but maybe there is a better solution.
Ideas anyone?
