    Hi,
    Is it possible for an iframe (inline frame) to have same session as its parent page?
    For example, I have an iframe pointing to an .aspx page that requires user to be authenticated. The user is authenticated in  the page that contains the iframe, so I thought this iframe can hold same session. Is that possible?

    Thanks!

    So does it have the same session automatically?
    And does this work in all browsers?

    If it's in the same domain it will have the same session.

    Thanks.
    I understand.  But what about browser compatibility. Is this browser independent?
