I am working with opencart which is templated.

On the foot template file there is a music script (jplayer) located on a 
separate file 'music.html' loaded into a iframe on the footer, which is 
global across all pages.

The client would only like the jplayer to autoplay on the home page so I 
need a way to determine when the home page is called so I can play or 
pause the player in the jplayer script located on 'music.html'.

I tried to call window.location.href ? .pathname which sends back the 
original name of the file the script is located '/~domain/music.html' as 
expected but not helpful.

What I was thinking was place the window.location.pathname on the 'home' 
page set a global variable which can be read by the script on music.html.

Is this even possible?
Global variables accessible across scripts.
or
Do I even make sense? :)

Thanks
