Page 0 - IE vs Firefox - session handling
464619Dec 8 2005 — edited Dec 27 2005Hi,
I use several hidden items on page 0, which are filled after entering my application.
When I use IE I can login to my app as user A. So user specific data is transferred to page 0. Now I open a new IE browser and login as user B. Same procedure here saving specific data to page 0. You can use both IE instances parallel without any problems. Session variables are fine for browser showing user A and browser showing user B.
When I use Firefox I login as user A. Page 0 items are correct now. But when I login as user B in a new tabbed Firefox or a new Firefox instance (user A browser is still open) page 0 items are overridden with user B's specific data. When I now change to the browser containing user A and change to another, data from user B is displayed because the items on page 0 contain his data.
It seems as if Firefox (Opera and Netscape act the same way) doesn't handle sessions well. But in the URL both users have different session IDs.
Any ideas how to handle this problem.
IE is Version 6.0
Firefox is 1.0.7 or 1.5
