IS there, a cross browser, way to identify each browser window uniquely?
I need to store some values which are unique for a window.
Even if the user opens two windows on the same browser to the same site.
There is no Ajax involved, every click on a link will load a new page.
And how would I access that name from the server? (for this, assume I use php, but example in any other language, is also good)
window.namecan be set via JavaScript. Strangely, it can also hold a few megabaytes worth of string data and is sometimes used as client-side storage.You’d have to pass the name back to the server with each request in order to know which window in the caller.
