@Nigel: Thank you for your comment! The loop is used to detect a second window of the application in the first one so not just the new window knows he's a duplicate, but the older one will detect that a second window has been opened (that might have messed things up on both client and server side). But it was buggy a bit, the conditions in the init() function were inconsistent. Now it's fixed. The idea is that the cookie on the client side named jsToken can be used to communicate between windows. detectNewWindowLoop() checks this cookie and when it gets changed, that means that a second window somewhere messed it up.

This is great! Thank you. It solves a problem for a web app I'm working on (linked above). One question: Why do you need the detectNewWindowLoop() function running periodically? Won't each new window/tab check for an existing one when it is opened?

Nice one, though I would be rather indignant facing such a message. I open nearly all links in new tabs – and I don’t want any application to force me to change my browsing behaviours. Use with extreme foresight!
