  I searched, really I did. Google reported over a million hits, and the first ten thousand were about Javascripts. ;-) But all I want to do is use a bit of HTML in some of my widgets that include URLs to check if the linked website is already open in a user’s browser.

  I now use the target=”_blank” to open new windows, but what extra command do I add to check to see if the window with the target URL is already open?

  Thanks,

  I don’t think you can check for existing windows/tabs with HTML. You can only specify a target frame.
