Gmail Chat Implementation
- 9 Comment
Today i implemented gmail chat window , not an ajax chat with a chat server, but its client side implementation.
Here you can see the demo: http://www.sajithmr.com/gtalk/
Take this link in a new tab or window, and take any other website without closing it.
After 3 seconds , (Consider it as a new chat message arrived situation) you can see the google chat notification sound , and title changing. (I didn’t get the actual gtalk notification sound, so i used windows notify.wav file )
You know google (gmail) implemented its sound notification is via swf object. Here me too done the same.
I wrote two function to check whether the browser is in focus or not.
Here is the functions:
function lostFocus()
{
document.title = 'Sajith M.R Says...';
state = 'nonfocus';
played = 0 ;
changeColorRed();
alterTitle();
}
function gotFocus()
{
document.title = 'Gmail Inbox(1)';
state = 'focus';
played = 0 ;
}
The alterTitle() function calls in 3 seconds setTimeOut manner.
function alterTitle()
{
if(state =='nonfocus')
{
if ( document.title == 'Gmail Inbox(1)')
{
if(played == 0)
{
soundManager.play('notify');
played = 1;
}
document.title = 'Sajith M.R Says...';
}
else
document.title = 'Gmail Inbox(1)';
setTimeout("alterTitle()",3000);
}
}
The soundmanager.js file handles the swf flash object and sound triggering.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”script/soundmanager.js”></script>
These three simple scripts together created this demo: http://www.sajithmr.com/gtalk/

Hello, i dont have gmail full chat code. If you want to put a gmail chat on your blog, you can use google widget for that purpose, no need to code yourself. Gtalk widget for any blog is currently available.
