[Javascript] Page loaded

[Chris Tifer]

That's the default action of when a page is loaded that doesn't have focus.
To do what you say, it'd probably be best if you used something like a
Flash file that does the checking for you, all the while staying on the same
page. Then you can call a JavaScript on the page to alert the user however
you see fit.

If that sounds like a viable option to you but you are totally lost and need
some help, let me know and I'll give you some pointers. Otherwise, I can't
come up with any ideas.
