I built a chat that it is working very well but one client has asked me to highlight and/or blink the tab bar of the browser where he has a chat user logged when a visitor calls him. This would be a way to respond the visitor quickly. So anyone of you fellows knows how to implement such a function in jquery ? I have searched a lot but by now I've not succeeded.

As an alternative, you might want to suggest using the [Notification API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API/Using_the_Notifications_API). – zero298 Apr 20 '17 at 14:58

You can use `alert()` in most browsers that will make the the tab active, but its not a nice ux, I would use push notifications – andrew Apr 20 '17 at 15:00

You can change your favicon. You cannot alter the browser tab.

@TricksfortheWeb I did not know that. You have an appropriate username. – smilebomb Apr 20 '17 at 19:19
