wp_post_preview_js()

Outputs a small JS snippet on preview tabs/windows to remove window.name on unload.


Description

	<script>
	( function() {
		var query = document.location.search;

		if ( query && query.indexOf( 'preview=true' ) !== -1 ) {

		if ( window.addEventListener ) {
			window.addEventListener( 'unload', function() { window.name = ''; }, false );
