is there any other work around to find if the browser window is new or old? By old i mean to say is that other links have already been visited on it.

What does that mean? Do you mean that a page is considered old if some of the links on it have been visited or if all of them have? In both cases this seems a different problem from the one you described in other posts. You should really try to describe what you're after more explicitly and in terms of UI, with no reference to the underlying technology - e.g.: "I want a user to click on a link and upon clicking this, that and that other thing must take place." Then I'm sure that people with experience in web development could successfully help you.

and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
