RE: [PHP] Sessions within new windows

I am using a normal link. Here is the exact html code: <a href="View_Article.php?ID={ID}" target="_blank"><img src="../Images/view.gif" width="22" height="22" border="0"></a> -----Original Message----- From: Pablo Gosse [mailto:gossep@unbc.ca] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 11:17 AM To: shiflett@php.net; Donald Tyler; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Sessions within new windows That's strange, as I've been writing a CMS over the past year which requires the user to have IE 5.5 or newer, and I have no problems with pop-ups accessing session values under IE 6.0. Perhaps it's an issue of how you're invoking the new windows? Are you using a normal link with target="_blank" or are you using Javascript to launch the new window?

Every other browser, to my knowledge, will work properly. Hope that helps.
