We have a static website created with dreamweaver and a database website
created in ASP.NET. Both sites have a the same url name, but one ends
with .org and the other is a .com. The user gets to the ASP.NET site by
ckicking a link on the static site. We have a grid that displays
images, when the user clicks an image we would like to open up a page,
it will be on the static site, in a different browser window. When the
user is done viewing the page they will close it and return back to the
grid, to select any items they want to purchase. Are we going to be
loosing our ASP.NET session by opening up the other site in a different
browser?

Thanks

The session cookie is bound to the exact server name, so you will not
lose that. But: if the user remains on that static site for longer than
the regular session timeout (default: 20 minutes) the cookie will still
be there, but the (server side) session will have expired.
That is, if there is no activity (of that user) on the aspnet server in
the meantime (this would reset the timeout).
