Web Worker javascript多线程编程（一）中提到有两种Web Worker：专用线程dedicated web worker，以及共享线程shared web worker。不过主要讲了专用线程dedicated web worker，并未提及共享线程shared web worker。那么这一篇文章继上一篇讲讲共享线程shared web worker。
shared web worker：运行的是更为普遍性的代码，可以为多个页面服务。它可以被与之相关联的多个页面访问，只有当所有关联的的页面都关闭的时候，该Shared web worker才会结束。
注意：如果要使共享进程可以连接到多个不同的页面，这些页面必须属于相同的域（相同的协议，主机以及端口）；
如何创建shared web worker
创建shared web worker与创建dedicated web worker方法类似，调用SharedWorker()构造函数，指定一个要在 worker 线程内运行的脚本的 uri。
下面的代码展示了如何通过SharedWorker()构造函数来创建一个共享进程对象。
var myWorker = new SharedWorker("worker.js");
与dedicated web worker不同的是，shared web worker访问worker通过sharedworker.port属性创建了一个messageport对象，该对象可以用来进行通信和对共享进程进行控制。当使用addEventListener监听message事件时，端口需要手动启动，利用其start()方法，采用onmessage()则不用。
myWorker.port.start();
端口开启后，使用port.postmessage()向SharedWorker发送消息，使用port.onmessage监听事件接收SharedWorker传递的消息，代码演示如下：
first.onchange = function() { myWorker.port.postMessage([first.value,second.value]); console.log('Message posted to worker'); } second.onchange = function() { myWorker.port.postMessage([first.value,second.value]); console.log('Message posted to worker'); } myWorker.port.onmessage = function(e) { result1.textContent = e.data; console.log('Message received from worker'); }
在SharedWorker中，使用onconnect事件监听SharedWorker的所有页面连接在同一端口，同样用port.onmessage与页面通信接收消息，用port.postMessage向页面发回处理后的数据。
onconnect = function(e) { var port = e.ports[0]; port.addEventListener('message', function(e) { var workerResult = 'Result: ' + (e.data[0] * e.data[1]); port.postMessage(workerResult); }); port.start(); // 使用 addEventListener 监听message时需要. onmessage 则不需要
}
使用onmessage监听事件则代码如下：
onconnect = function(e) { var port = e.ports[0]; port.onmessage(function (e) { var workerResult = 'Result: ' + (e.data[0] * e.data[1]); port.postMessage(workerResult); }) };
注意：SharedWorker本身就是继承自Worker，所以与Worker一样受同样的限制，关于限制在Web Worker javascript多线程编程（一）中有介绍，在Worker的作用域中额外增添了applicationCache应用缓存(不过已经从web标准中删除)，另一个就是name，在使用构造函数创建SharedWorker对象时的一个可选参数。
var myWorker = new SharedWorker("worker.js"，"workerName");
这样在worker的全局作用域中可访问name，在上例代码中值为"workerName"。
下面上一个两个html页面共享一个SharedWorker的完整简单例子：
