How to detect when a tab is focused or not in Chrome with Javascript?
- by LLer
I need to know if the user is currently viewing the current tab or not in Google Chrome. I tried to use the events blur and focus binded to the window, but only the blur seems to be working.
window.addEventListener('focus', function() {
document.title = 'focused';
});
window.addEventListener('blur', function() {
document.title = 'not focused';
});
The focus event works weird, only sometimes. If I switch to another tab and back, focus event won't activate. But if I click on the address bar and then back on the page, it will. Or if I switch to another program and then back to Chrome it will activate if the tab is currently focused.
