If I have a value saved in session("myvalue", how can I "maintain state" when I click a link that has target="_blank" ???

The new window that pops up apparently has a new session id....

Any suggestions?

thanks

A session variable will work from the directory it is created downwards...All child folders of the initial folder where the session was created will inherit and be able to use that session:

Example:


/siteroot/index.asp (if this is where the session is created)

/Siteroot/popups/file.asp ' Will inherit the session variable as it is contained within the same parent folder siteroot/

I kind of thought it should....but for some reason, it's not...the folder where it's loosing the session is 1 folder down from where it was created (on the root)...

I am using IIS 6, is there something I can check to see if it's a setting thing?

What could be wrong?

Thanks!

BY THE WAY - I know the session is changing in the new window....I did a :
response.Write session.SessionID in both the original and new window - and value is different...

I found out why...

The folder below it is defined as an "application" in IIS....thus it won't share session values with folders above it...

Thanks!
