Good evening you all (at least it is here in the Netherlands)

I'm not that familiar yet with JS, but I'm getting the hang of it.

Trying to get me a little HTML based timer for some local desktops that give the user a visual warning (screen background will start changing background color from blue to red every second) so that the one using the desktop is notified the desktop needs some attention.

I've managed to pull that of, at least the timer and notifying. Now I'm looking for a solution to get my monitor triggered to awake from energy saver mode. Of course I can kill the energy saver in Windows 7, but I was just curious if I could trigger it with some kind of JS code that could manage that when timer reaches zero.

Thanks in advance

Marc

I doubt it. Move the mouse or hit a key or something on the keyboard. I think that's about it. You can configure it so that it doesn't sleep too deeply, just turns off the monitor, then beeps and other noises generated by websites and other applications can be heard, but I thinbk it still requires one to touch something to get the screen back on.

I was also doubting it would be possible.

Even auto-loading an executable won't do the trick I guess.

Thanks for your reply, but if anyone comes up with an idea, I'm still in ;)
