Short answer - no. > I have found that sometimes users will open a new tab and go to the same > application basically executing the app twice from different windows. This is a pretty common user behavior, and I (as a user) would expect any site to handle this gracefully. > I guess one way around this is cookieless sessions I don't think this will do anything to solve your problem. > Or is there a good way to tell if the user does have 2 windows open with the > same session? Not really. Why don't you attack this a different way? Since I think the whole "open in two tabs" behavior is pretty normal, I don't think you should try to mess with the user's experience by trying to prevent it. What specifically does your app do that's bad when two tabs are open? I suspect changing the app's architecture to gracefully deal with two open tabs will be easier, and will make for a more positive user experience at the same time. Frankly, if I tried to a open a site in a second tab and it prevented me from opening the tab or reset my session, I'd think it was a poorly designed site and be grumpy. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
