Opening a New Window/Session....
Hi,
I have a hyperlink in one of my application as:
<a href="/servername/application/Folderjsp/link_to.jsp?person=USERNAME"target="new_sc_window" >Test Link</a>
When a Superuser click on one of the Subusers it opens a New window with the Current Username parameter passed.(Via the jsp page). But the problem is when the SUperuser is coming back to his own window, he is being logged out.
I know i will not have this problem (in my application ) if clickin on that link opens a NEW Internet Explorer browser window; and then pass the parameters. Is there any workaround. Please suggest.
Thanks,
JJ

No there is no workaround for this issue.
Any windows that spawn from one IE session are considered part of the same process. As such, they have the same session id, and thus the same session attributes.
It is a feature of IE, and can't be changed however much we would like it to be sometimes.

Hey different points of view is good.
I agree with your statement in principle. Sending stuff like that across URL parameters is bad practice.
From my understanding the requirement can be restated as : "Can we open a browser window that has a seperate session from its parent?"
It is fairly common knowledge in IE that opening a new window "shares" the current session, and starting a new process from the shortcut starts a new session.
AFAIK there is no way that one browser window that can spawn a child window with a different session, which is what would be required here.
unless I've misunderstood the question :-)

Hi guys, thanks for replies.
Yes, evnafets. You understood me correctly.
The functionality i want from my Hyperlink is: Clicking on it should force another session in a autonomous IE window.
I know its a dumb question but.... Is there any way that we could point it to ieplore.exe file we have usually have on our client machines and then pass the required parameters to it.
Thanks,
jj
