I'm facing the same problem both in IE & NS :-(. But
isn't there any solution for this??? Is there any way
to compare the session ids equality and then get / set
values to the sessions? (or) is there a way to find
the browser instances? I'm just trying to find a way
for this.
Please help,
Cheers,
Venu
