Assume that you have page foo.html in windows 1 that has a link to bar.html in it. The question is, how do you tell the difference betwenn the user clicking on the link and going to bar.html and the user right clicking on the link and choosing "open link in new window" (there's different ways of doing this in different browsers). In the first case you have bar.html in window 1, in the second you have bar.html in window 2. How would the javascript know to do different things in the different windows?
