This is a classic asp group (see
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet for asp.net questions) so I
tried to reproduce this using the classic asp page that appears below. I
was unsuccessful. The same session id appeared in both windows. My
suggestion would be to post a small repro (similar to the one I posted)
to the aspnet group, explaining which type of session state management
you are using: in-process or database.
<%
if len(session("test"))>0 then
Response.Write "session variable already has a value.<BR>"
else
Response.Write "setting session variable to ""a""<BR>"
session("test") = "a"
end if
%>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<div onclick = "window.open('sessiontest.asp')"
style="border:solid thin; cursor:hand"[color=blue]
>click me</div>[/color]
<%=session.SessionID%><BR>
<%=session("test")%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
