If the pages are running on different computers, then you can *NOT* solve this with JavaScript alone.

You *must* have some server-side code (PHP, ASP, JSP, etc.) that receives a message (presumably via AJAX) from one client to store the changed information. Then the Admin page can "scan" (again, using AJAX, and making the request every few seconds) by asking the server what has changed.
