how to distinguish browser's tab?

[Fernando Wermus <fe...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
     I have a site which works in facebook, as an facebook ap, as well as
"stand alone". the styling is the only thing that changes between these two
versions.

Some days ago, I found a bug that I don't know how to solve.

If a user logins in facebook an uses my facebook app and later he adds a
browser's tab and uses the stand alone version, the styling which remains is
the one for facebook. This is because I stored in the session the info about
how he had logged in and thus which styling should be applyed. I don't find
a way to distinguish later between the two browser's tab - or any other
kinds of solution. I was thinking of adding a cookie which could help me to
distinguish between tabs, but I am not used to working with cookies.

I have a plenty lack of ideas, any help would be really appreciate it.

 This is the original problem. I do have an entry point, but if the user
opens a browser tab now, and access to the site directly, my session was set
up as a facebook app and thus the styling is the facebook one.

hmm i see a couple of ways of solving this.


   - Mount a special facebook entry page, that setups your style etc.Use
   that as entry point for the facebook app
   - The session cookie approach, in my setups I have Apache HTTP infront,
   so again I would have two apps where a cookie are set from Apache like
   facebook.myapp.com and app.myapp.com
