The appropriate/commonly-accepted form of a Windows "beep" - is a popup. Or - maybe rework the app. You should always assume, no matter how unbelievable it may be, that your endusers are REALLY stupid. So if you have something so critical that the user needs to do something - your app shouldn't LET them do anything, until they do as they are instructed. For example, if you are trying to stop them from submitting a form until a field is filled out - they you don't warn them and hope for the best, you don't allow them to continue until they have complied with your requirements.

I have errors occuring on the server. Sometimes it might be appropriate to send back an alert box. I would prefer a sound alarm. I worst case I have to send back an animation with some dancing animals. Maybe I can wire up the browser to call 911 when my web server catch on fire. Do you know that some printers sends back an error saying that the printer is on fire? I wonder how they do that. Arne.

Eliyahu P.S. What WebMatrix means is that a browser's alert box pops up with a quite distinct sound.
