Hey.
I'd like someone to point me in the right direction.
Basically, my work website shows data from a MySQL db.
If a new line of data is added in the DB, the user has no way of knowing that it has gone in until they have refreshed. Now, its not often they refresh it.

I need a way of making the bar in the taskbar to flash (like msn convo's) or ANY other way of notifying when a new line of data is added.

There has to be a way.

Can anyone help/?

If you use AJAX then you can poll the server for changes. See the answer in the Javascript forum.
