javascript - block multiple instances of firefox app -


i have built firefox 22 application in javascript/html5 , block user opening multiple instances of (whether in separate tab or separate browser).

currently works extent when try open instance of it, redirects about:blank, brings original instance of application focus (switches tab or window), , displays alert (on original instance). done checking displaystate variable i've set in localstorage.

the problem i've run while alert up, user can open many instances of application he/she wants.

is there better way using (a displaystate check in) localstorage this? or there way keep alert timing-out application?

alert blocks script execution in firefox (this not e.g. opera), hardly can change this. therefore should use different.

nonetheless may set localstorage key on application startup , unset on shutdown (window.onunload). user can stuck, though, if browser crashes. may try sessionstorage, automatically cleaned when browser closed.

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
