how to Replicate Session in new window?, target _blank

awebguynow

I'm writing a pretty complex webapp, that ideally will have 2-3 popup
windows, but I am losing my session information when I open a new
window. Is there a way to retain or replicate Session information ?
I've used <atag with target="_blank" .
I don't know if using a Window name would have any effect at all.

That should not happen. Session has very little or nothing to do with the
window. It exits per domain, until it expires or the browser is closed. If
you create a new instance of the same browser window, it should not lose the
session.

Is there a way to retain or replicate Session information ?

There isn't anything like that because there should be no need for such
functionality. I've always used new windows in my applications and never
experienced losing the session. There might something else wrong in your
approach. Make sure you are not linking to a different domain, like from
alpha.example.c om to beta.example.co m, because that will lose the session
data. Another thing you should confirm is that the page in the new window
doesn't destroy the session.

Very odd case I must say.

sorry if it sounds daft, are you adding session_start() at the
beginning of the poppuped file?

They make normal people flee to text-based browsers where they'll
stop bothering bad web designers.

OK, with the popup flames already. Please have something more
intelligent to say, if you'd like to post.
The webapp is an intranet in-house type of site, secured for a select
audience that has requested different report pages in different
windows.

I did notice in a simple test that using [ target="_blank" ]
does not cause SESSION to be lost.

My html output is the result of XSL transformation, but I don't think
that is the problem, as of yet. So my use of [ target="_blank" ] is
actually in the XSL file.
PHP (Psuedo-code)
session_start() ; // via include file [ same for all my php files,
actually ]
...
... $xp->transformToXML ( ... )

I'll be looking into it.
I also have heard of alternatives where SESSION is stored in a
database, etc.

Are there any qualified human factors in that list of people who've
"requested" these things open in new windows?

Just because someone requests it, that doesn't make it a good idea (unless,
of course, their name is on your paycheck)
