The client has a learning management system (LMS) which opens elearning 
courses in new windows. The elearning courses report progress, scores... 
back to the LMS. If window.open is always null then the LMS and the 
courses are worthless (in some situations) to the client. Which means 
I'm snookered.

Is there a way for Chrome on iOS to communicate with other tabs?
