I remember when you had to have multiple browsers open to view more than one webpage.
Tabs have been EPIC.
Can you imagine not having them anymore? How horrid would that be.
We are now using so many tabs, Firefox has built in a great new way to manage them, and I have several tabs in Chrome that I always keep pinned. With only a favicon viewable, using the favicon is a great way to gain a users attention for notifications and alerts.
This piece of JavaScript will do just that:
Notificon
Notificon is a BSD licensed javascript class for providing client-side favicon notifications. Instead of requiring a number of favicons be created and served up to the client, you can specify a label and a favicon (default being the current favicon) and it will generate a favicon notification.
Favicons can only be changed post-render in Chrome 6+ and Firefox 2+ and Opera, but this is no surprise, everyone knows Internet Explorer is lame.
Fork it, grab it, learn more, here.
