sessions, IE and pop-up windows

I'm working on a Calendar script right now that uses sessions. When a user clicks on the "edit" button a pop-up window appears so that the full calendar is still available along with the new event that's being editted. It works fine in Mozilla but in IE the pop-up window appears to log out the user. I've tried starting a new session_name in the pop-up window, but it doesn't seem to be working. It looks (basically) like this: edit.php session_name("edit"); include("validate.php"); if (session_name != "edit") { session_name("website"); } session_start(); Any suggestions on how I can use pop-up windows for editing and maintain a person's logged in status? thanks! emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]]
