    Default Uniquely identify a client

    :beer;
    I am using SESSION variables to track a client. However if the user opens two
    clients on the same computer, they client variables can be set by either
    client.

    Client A sets SESSION.myvar = 2
    Client B sets SESSION.myvar = 55
    Client A accesses SESSION.myvar which is now 55 and it needs to be 2

    How can I uniquely identify and keep the clients from stomping on each other.

    hi,

    it makes no sense to open 2 copies of the same web application on the same
    machine. and even if you had to, still it is one session and one person. this
    is not practical.
