File-New-Window creates shared session variables

My application relies on session variables to keep track of the currently
selected customer.

When a new window is opened using File-New-Window in Internet Explorer, the
session variables are shared between the two instances of IE. When this
happens, various problems occur, such as orders getting assigned to the
wrong customer.

How can I best manage this problem?

Thanks
Bill

You'll have these issues *any* time you use global variables in *any*
type of application. It's best to use local variables whenever
possible. In asp.net this translates to passing your variables around
from form to form. Use querystring variables or form variables
instead. Sorry I don't have a decent solution, but one more thought:
I think your issue may get worse when IE7 introduces "tabbed
browsing"... which makes it much easier to "open new windows". Maybe
there's an IE setting that tells IE to start a new session when a new
window is opened(?)

I wrote a file download module for my website. The reason for the file download module is that my website downloads work on a credit based system. So I need to keep track of and limit daily downloads. It uses fpassthru() and some headers() to send a file to the requesting user. The get.php file that I wrote (the file download module if you will) works like a charm for .ZIP files and .TXT files. However, when .EXE files are downloaded...

This may be the wrong group but I didn't see anything for VC++ so I'm trying here.

Hi, I have noticed that every aspx page that I created (and ascx file) has an assosiated resource file aspx.resx. However what I would like to do is have a single global resource file for the site. The resources in this global resource file will possibly change quite often, there I guess this rules out using web.config as every time web.config alters the application is recompiled, also I am not sure of the possible consequences of...

I've got a XML file I read using a file_get_contents and turn into a simpleXML node every time index.php loads. I suspect this is causing a noticeable lag in my page-execution time. (Or the wireless where I'm working could just be ungodly slow-- which it is.) Is reading a file much more resource/processor intensive than, say, including a .php file? What about the act of creating a simpleXML object? What about the act of checking the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
