OAuth (Instagram) without refresh

Question

I have a single page javascript application, and I\'m wondering if I can authenticate the user on Instagram without refreshing the page. I\'d like to try to do something similar

Answer 1

It ended up being super easy to do this with a popup using the comments from tdun and Jan. Thanks guys! Used the Instgram class from 9lessons, and used window.opener.processAuthData(authData) to call back to the original window. And I did have to do a refresh, but it was in the popup window, not in the main app window, which was what I was going for.
