Just wondering how (or if?) others are handling the situation where you
want to let users open multiple instances of an application. Are session
variables completely out of the question for state management in this
case? As far as I can tell, once a session is established, that same
session runs across all open windows of the browser. A common scenario
might be if a user opened two record editing windows in order to cut and
paste data from one to the other.
There would seem to be some potential pitfalls for developers who don't
take into account the possibility of a user running multiple instances of
an application. For instance, keeping a "current record" id within a
session variable as the user passed through several pages of an
application. Not something everyone might do, but very easy to imagine
happening.
I don't remember seeing this discussed before, so am I missing something
obvious?
Thanks,
Jim
