Never permit direct URL access to any given page in your
application....that's all.
Always track the window.history.length characteristic in a cookie.
Write to the cookie using an "onunload=" event handler and store the
window.history.length.
If another browser window opens or is already opened, chances are very great
that it has a different history.length than the first browser window.
Put this logic in the "onload=" event handler.
Alert the user of the problem, and then do a window.close() to shut-down the
second browser window;
