Prevent Multiple instances of the same web site

[vangundy]

I want to be able to prevent the end user from opening the same web site more than once. How can I do this using javascript?

You can't.

To follow up Lee's excellent answer, take a step back and think about what it is you are actually asking.

You would need to do this at an operating system (or at very least, IP) level. For example, I have 5 different browsers on my PC at the moment - and there is no way JS running in NN7 would be able to control what websites Opera can visit or not.

As well, browser windows only have access to each other if one window is opened by one of the web pages that's already open, like with window.open(). Other than that, 2 instances of IE or Firefox or any other browser have no way to connect with each other.

Why do you want to do this? Are you having trouble using Session variables or something?
