From: John Cartwright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone have a suggestion on how to maintain a separate session for each browser tab and window? Currently the same session is shared for each frame, window, tab of a given brower instance and context. I only wish this were possible - it would make life a lot easier for a number of the apps I work on. Unfortunately, it's not. Cookie state is maintained client-side, as is window state. On current browsers (and in the spec), all windows to the same site share the same cookie state, so using cookies is out. If it were possible to detect opening a new window using Javascript in a portable way, you might be able to do something there using an extra GET parameter to indicate a newly-opened window; but, to my knowledge, it isn't possible to do this in a way that is either portable* or works with all combinations of back and forward buttons plus new window opens at arbitrary points. - Peter * Non-portable solutions include browser plug-ins for IE and Netscape-derived browsers; these *can* spot new windows as they open and *can* cause the DOM in those windows to be amended. May not get you very far with Lynx, though...
