Can I open a new window with a new SessionID?

[Robb Smith]

I need the ability to open a new browser window from both IE 5.0+ & Netscape
6.0+ and also creates a new Session. IE does this each time iexplore.exe is
run, but not from a JavaScript window.open. Netscape doesn't appear to work
when running the EXE multiple times.

I can get this to work with Windows Scripting Host, but there are security
issues on the client. Another solution that doesn't require client-side
changes would be preferrable.

Any ideas?

Hi,

the only idea that comes to mind is to open the second window with
window.open and then have a small JScript on the page that deletes the
ASPNET session cookie. Worth a try, but I am not sure if it works. I am a
little puzzled that a new IE instance gets a new session ID anyway...

Check out for session.abadon() method. Before opening new window, you can do
session.adadon() for the current page, hence new session will be created for
next request. I personally didnt tried this. but it is worth trying it out.
