window.open(), can I get new session?

[Jarmo]

Using window.open(), the exec'd child window shares session information with
the parent. Is there a way in JavaScript to exec a new browser window that
does not share? Thanks.

That depends on how you implement sessions in the first place. If you base
them on Cookies - then no, not without destroying the previous session. If
you base them on URIs, then yes. Make sure you remove them session id
information from the URI when you generate the link to the popup. If you
use some other method for tracking sessions, then it depends on the method.
Whichever method you use, the JavaScript is rather irrelevant as you almost
certain can implement this server side. (BTW - popups are a bad design
decision 999 times in 1000).
