I am trying to spawn a new window (using window.open) when a button is clicked. However, the session data is also transferred to the new page. I want no session data transferred. How can I stop this from happening
Thanks!
 
The only time you'll actually get a new session is when a new IE browser is
launched on the computer. Launching through window.open basically launches a
child instance and will be part of the same session.

Hope this helps,

Some notes:
* the session data is "available", not "transferred" or "copied" (no extra
memory)
* the session data is only available on the server, it is not copied to the
browser
(no security or bandwidth problems there)
* you could always ignore the session (it is *your* application)
* it is possible to set the (entire) application to "sessionless"
* maybe you can solve some concerns by using ViewState to store some data
(but watch out for the limitations)

Why is it a problem that you can access the same session data?
