Update window title when new notifications are pending
Reported by Thadd Selden | December 1st, 2008 @ 07:37 AM
The title of the window should reflect that there are notifications pending. This will allow users to see new messages by glancing at their tab bar.

This isn't quite as easy as it first seems. Changing the title is simple, just say:
document.title = "New title"The challenge is that you don't have a way to know that the user is not viewing the page at the time unless the user has set their status as away. So, a notification will come in, the title gets updated, but then on the first message update the notification is cleared and the title goes back to normal.

An idea:
A hidden status field could be set via a function like the following:
window.onblur = function() {jQuery('#window_hidden').html('true');} window.onfocus = function() {jQuery('#window_hidden').html('false');}The notification AJAX response can then check the content of this div to determine whether to change the title.
