I have a html page which contains a link, by clicking on this link I am opening a pop-up window (using window.open() ).

Now I have another html file which also has a link pointing to the same URL.

My requirement is that when I click on the link I need to check if there is any pop-up with this URL already opened in the browser instance and if so, focus on that particular pop-up.

You can just give the window a name related to the URL. So same URLs will have same window names and attempt to open second URL will open it in the first window. – Yuriy Galanter Apr 22 '14 at 14:42
Thanks you for the Quick reply, As per your suggestion it will reload the page , but my requirement is to just focus to that window. – Arunkumar Apr 22 '14 at 14:47
`var w = window.open('yoururl'); w.focus()`? – putvande Apr 22 '14 at 14:51

@ Yuriy Galanter, Thanks again, looks great i will try this. – Arunkumar Apr 22 '14 at 15:10
The only solution I see to this is some serverside magic. Something real time like socket IO. Accessing across tabs isn't something you can do without a browser plugin. – Dylan Madisetti Apr 22 '14 at 23:43
