Thanks for the reply. However, I'm unclear on how I might use it effectively.
My scenario in my app: I have a python object that I pass around to different pages. At the end of each of my controller methods I do the following: wo = Workorder(auth.user.id, workorder_id) # save to the session session.workorder = cPickle.dumps(wo.to_dict()) Then, at the beginning of each controller method I do: wo = Workorder(auth.user.id) wo.from_dict(cPickle.loads(session.workorder)) So, with my limited javascript knowledge, I don't see how I'd be able to convert this to sessionstorage. And actually, I don't know if what I'm doing with pickling/unpickling dicts is a smart thing to do. If anyone has any pointers/comments, I'd appreciate it. However, it seems as though I may need to rethink my strategy. Thanks for taking a look. -Jim On Friday, February 19, 2016 at 2:45:05 AM UTC-6, Niphlod wrote: > > every browser considers tabs as belonging to the same session in regards > to cookies. there's no way to separate those using web2py code. > you can leverage sessionstorage in javascript that keeps values alive - > and compartimentalized - to a single living tab. > > On Friday, February 19, 2016 at 4:56:21 AM UTC+1, Jim S wrote: >> >> Hi >> >> Is there a way to keep independent session variables between two open >> browser tabs? >> >> Example >> >> 1. write a session variable in tab 2 >> 2. switch to tab 1 and execute the same page setting the session >> variable to a different value >> 3. go back to tab 2 and request page that reads the session variable and >> gets the value set from tab 1 >> >> Is there any way to force each tab to have it's own session variables? >> >> -Jim >> > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
