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.

Do a search for html5 desktop notification. Google chrome supports desktop notification from the browser using html5.
