Check the url of the page in the browser, if it isn't your url then
display another message.
Secondly, have a javascript function on the page that makes sure it is

The big difference is that singleton classes have an instance. By having an
instance, the singleton class can inherited functionality as well as
subclasses. There are many more benefits...but it really comes down to how

If you use getInstance(), a constructor gets called - which is often handy
if you need to run any kind of initialisation code for your singleton (that
you couldn't just do with initial property values).
If you just used statics, you might end up having to do something like:
