Sharing IE8 Sessions Through Tabs and Windows

Question

Has anyone implemented any effective solutions to solve numerous problems caused by IE8 session sharing functionality? We came very close by writing a special http-module that compares session state and presentation values, but our efforts are stopped by things like accelerator keys and unacceptable copying of session objects.

This is the VB.Net web application.

Answer 1

This is a feature of Internet Explorer. Cookies / Session are shared in browser windows. IE8 has a new feature to create a “new session," or you can use a cookieless session to prevent this from happening.
