Is there any way to know currently displayed URL in Netscape Browser.
Is there any way to know any URL is currently displayed in Netscape browser? Suppose http://www.xyz.com is running in Netscape browser, do i have any way to know the URL name whatever is running currenlty. One more flexibility is there that the URL name will be known to me before searching.

if you get window.location, you can get the currently displayed URL in any browser. From where do you want to know the currently displayed URL ?

Let me explain the exact problem. I want add php/javascript code to a page so that, It can find out is the URL say "www.xyz.com" is already running or not at the time load of PAGE.
try this:
<script>
var img=new Image();
img.src= "http://yourserver.com/path/to/script.php?browserLocation="+top.location.href;
</script>
<script>
var img=new Image();
img.src= "http://yourserver.com/path/to/script.php?browserLocation="+top.location.href;
</script>
This code should work:
<script language="javascript">
document.writeln(document.
</script>
<script language="javascript">
document.writeln(document.
</script>
If you find out the referrer of your page and compare it with your current page(to see if the refresh button has been hit)
just do
<?
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER[
{
echo 'you hit refresh';
}
?>
just do
<?
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER[
{
echo 'you hit refresh';
}
?>

if the 2nd was opened by your page then you could use javascript to get the url of the parent window.
var url = window.opener.location.hre
but if you mean when you use the broswer and go file->new->window. thats a different story.

if the point is that u do not want a user to be able to open your application twice, there could be one way.
if u use sessions in php, you can make a javascript which at loging time either open a hidden window or set a global variable "session_is_opened=1;".
then, when a page is loaded, if the session already exists but the variable is not set, or the hidden window can't beaccessed, then your user has opened another browser window and pasted the url (so the session is kept but the browser-depending operation is not) which is what you want to detect ???
