I have a website which includes a table for inputing scores. I'd like to have a desktop notification pop up when a score is input. I'm not sure where to even begin on creating a desktop notification. I was hoping to getvsome help , pointers or even atleast some direction. Is really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. As far as desktop notification is like it to look something like this...   http://www.google.com/m/search?q=dropbox+notification&pbx=1&aq=f&oq=&a qi=-k0d0t0&fkt=2109&fsdt=12488&cqt=&rst=&htf=&his=&maction=&site=image s&gl=us&client=ms-android-sprint-us&source=mog&hl=en&csll=&action=&lto ken=d9078234#i=3  Like what dropbox has.   John

    Those are many different types of desktop notifications.  Some are Windows OS, some are Growl (Mac).  You won't be able to get those from a website unless you made the browser which is unlikely.  Have you considered developing an AIR application and building in a notification system or migrating in a third party system like Growl?  That's probably going to be the best way to go about this.

    Most solutions use pop up windows in the Adobe AIR application.  Take for instance an application like Tweetdeck.  I don't think there is a Windows equivilent to Growl but I could be wrong.  I would suggest posting your topic in the Adobe AIR Development forum to go about getting started with an AIR application.
