two browser windows -- same session variable?

[Mark]

If you have a parent window that opens a child window using JavaScript, is
the Session state between the two windows separate or shared?

Thanks in advance.

It is shared.

Is this also the case for cookies?

Thanks again.

As long a it's the same process (instance on the processes list in your
Task Manager) you're sharing the sessions.

This means that if you're in IE and you're pressing Ctrl+n, you get a
new windows within the same process, no extra iexplore.exe.

When you doubleclick a shortcut or the .exe itself, you get a new window
with a seperate process.

The browsers Mozilla, FireFox and Opera are, as far as I'm concerned
they can only run one instance (process).
