So, if you click a link from: That doesn't seem to be what he's saying. "because of the different session IDs." It seems to me a better example of what he is saying would be: http://example.org/foo.php?PHPSESSID=12345 vs. http://example.org/foo.php?PHPSESSID=67890 But I was talking about cookies anyway. Which is where different browsers have different behaviors. In IE, by default, it will not pass a cookie from a new browser window. In Mozilla, by default, a new window keeps all the cookies currently set. I've mostly used IE, so I've always thought that it never passed cookies from a new browser window. Apparently, it just depends on which browser you're using and how it is setup. -- Rob > > http://example.org/foo.php?PHPSESSID=12345 > > it could be for: > > http://example.org/bar.php?PHPSESSID=12345 > > Hope that helps. > > Chris > > ===== > My Blog > http://shiflett.org/ > HTTP Developer's Handbook > http://httphandbook.org/ > RAMP Training Courses > http://www.nyphp.org/ramp
