Different tabs/windows generally do not know about each other. Sometimes they do, for example when one window uses JavaScript to open the other one. But even in this case, JavaScript from one page may not access the other page if they come from different sites (from a different domain, protocol or port).
This is called the “Same Origin Policy”. To work around that, both pages must agree for data exchange and must contain special JavaScript code that handles it. We’ll cover that in the tutorial.
This limitation is, again, for the user’s safety. A page from http://anysite.com
which a user has opened must not be able to access another browser tab with the URL http://gmail.com
, for example, and steal information from there.
