From: Markus Weber (Megalith GmbH) on 18 Mar 2010 08:42 Hello! I use classic ASP and have the problem that when user opens different Browser windows the Session will be shared. Means values saved in a session in one Windows are available also in the other window. I tried different command line options in IE (other browsers have same behaviour) without success. Has someone an idea how to disable shared sessions? Thanks in advance and regards Markus

In IE8 the user has to go to the File menu and choose New Session, or use the -nomerge command line option when starting a new instance. -- Dan

It seems your definition of a "session" differs from the ASP definition From: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524664 "ASP assigns the user ID by means of an HTTP cookie, which is a small file stored on the client's computer." The same user on a machine cannot start multiple ASP sessions. You will need to create your own user-session tracking mechanism. -- HTH, Bob Barrows

No, no, session variables are NOT aviable in windows, they are only aviable on the server. >> I tried >> different command line options in IE (other browsers have same >> behaviour) without success.

If you disable all cookies, including session cookies, every page will start it's own asp-session. Or you could use different browsers, like Chrome and Firefox. Perhaps starting up secret windows in Chrome could do the trick. Try! Seen from the server side, AS WE DO IN THIS ASP NG, just do not use the session and it's variables, and you will have the same effect. > > As others have said, there is nothing you can do about it, so you need > to find some way of working with it, instead of trying to work around > it.

Hello! Thanks for all your help, the "-nomerge" approche seems working. Thanks again and regards Markus |
