Tabbed browsing, programaticaly navigating to another open tab
- by jdr120
Hello,
I'm in a discussion with my co-worker. We have a web application in a tabbed browsing environment, say with 2 tabs open. Tab2 has a link to tab1, when I click the link, it opens tab1 in a new tab. We want to detect if tab 1 is already open, if so then set focus to tab1 (and not open a new window).
He has gotten this working in a broswer window environment, but says it is not possible in a tabbed environment.
Is it possible to for javascript to determine if tab1 is already open and then just set focus to that tab?
Thanks in advance!
