Help with Javascript Opening Windows

[ds111]

I have a menu with 8 links. If i click on one of the links, it opens in a new page (target="_blank"). How do I prevent opening the same page multiple times? If you click a link "home" and the home page shows up and u click "home" in a different menu, it should do a focus on index.php (which is already opened) and just refresh the page.

Can i do this with javascript? Or is there another language i must write it in?

You don't need JavaScript - just do it with plain old HTML. If you give each "target" attribute a unique name, they should only ever open once:

<a href="/" target="WinHome">Home</a>
<a href="/page1" target="WinPage1">Page 1</a>
<a href="/page2" target="WinPage2">Page 2</a>
<a href="/about" target="WinAbout">About</a>
<a href="/contact" target="WinContact">Contact</a>

Hope this helps,
