I know I've written web apps to play sounds if certain conditions appear with:<br />
<br />
&lt;bgsound src='mysound.wav' loop='3' /&gt;<br />
<br />
and it works great.

Hello,<br />
<br />
If we have a popup window open and it is not in focus how can we check it? If the popup is not in focus and the user is looking at something else I want to play a &quot;beep&quot; sound using &lt;embed&gt;. However if they are focused on the popup I do not wan to play this &quot;beep&quot; sound.<br />
<br />
To explain in further detail I have a Instant Messenger running and if the user does not have the IM focused and they get a new message there is no way in letting them know. So I thought a &quot;beep&quot; sound would be nice. I found a way to simply focus() the window, however don't think many will like that.<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you

How to check if popup window is focused in JavaScript?

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
