Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a web application that store information about recently visited pages, let's call them A. When a user visits another page type, called B, I render a menu at the top with a button to point to the most recently visited A-page. The B-pages are accessible either through an A page or a B page and can by the user be considered a property of A. This works fine but it becomes a problem when someone opens two tabs and when being on a B-page in tab 1 with a link to the A-page A1 they open a new tab and visits the A-page A2. When the user then refreshes the B-page in tab 1 the menu changes to A2. I'd like to be able to identify what tab is being used so that I can save A1 for tab 1 so that it doesn't change to A2. When using one tab: A1 -> B1 -> B2 (the menu points back to A1) When using two tabs: Time | T1 | T2 | T3 ----------------+----------+----------+------------- Tab 1: | A1 -> B1 | | [refresh B1] Tab 2: | | A2 -> B3 | ----------------+----------+----------+------------- Menu points to: | A1 A1 | A2 A2 | A2 This confuses the users when they back in tab 1 comes to the user they were viewing in tab 2 (A2) instead of A1. I'm afraid that it isn't possible to get the browser tab ID but someone might have any ideas of a workaround?
