I've been working on an inter window communication javascript library based on javascript built for Vox.  This allows  browser windows or tabs on the same domain to communicate and cooperate.  One use case for this is for comet connections.  Due to self imposed browser limitations, multiple connections to the same domain are limited to two connections and comet connections would produce odd behavior when multiple windows or tabs are opened on the same domain.  This is the first step in efficient use of a single comet connection across multiple tabs or windows.  This library would be used with another project of mine: Cometd: The Scalable Comet Framework

Check out my demo: Inter Window Communication

Note: Currently this only works in Firefox 2 and IE 5.1+
