How can I load a new page when the iPhone/Android browser is reopened?

Question

Okay, so I don't exactly even know how to word this question properly as you can probably tell. Hence I couldn't find any solution on Google, so I came here.

Basically, the process unfolds like this:

1.) The user logs into my site. 2.) The user uses my site, then leaves the browser and does whatever else, without killing the browser. 3.) The user opens up the browser again to check my site again.

When 3.) triggers, I want my site to detect that and forward the browser to some other page.

Does this make any sense? If you need clarification, just let me know. I believe there has to be a way to do this with jQuery or maybe just plain JS.

Thanks!

So you want to detect when the user brings the browser window into focus on iphone or android? — citizen conn, Jul 20 '11 at 21:05

function onBlur() {
    document.body.className = 'blurred';
};
function onFocus(){
    document.body.className = 'focused';
};

if (/*@cc_on!@*/false) { // check for Internet Explorer
    document.onfocusin = onFocus;
    document.onfocusout = onBlur;
} else {
    window.onfocus = onFocus;
    window.onblur = onBlur;
}

Reference: Is there a way to detect if a browser window is not currently active?

So where do I set the redirect in this example? How would I use this? – Willem Ellis Jul 21 '11 at 16:03
@baudday in the `onFocus` function – Rafay Jul 21 '11 at 19:13
