I'm still in shock. I was happily passing session variables between two asp pages. Everything seemed to be in working order. Then I ran the pages again and discovered state is gone. In NN6.2 the same pages work fine.

I of course checked the cookie setting in IE6 (which I had never tinkered with) and wasn't surprised to see cookie fully supported.

What could be wrong??

Can you give more details, Im running IE 6 and the session state seems to be OK, ...this is interetsing tho'

When you say the state has gone do you mean the session has been killed?


Cheers, Leed

leed,

I meant a page that restricted access based on a session variable rejected access because the variable was empty. I ran the following and got nothing back in IE6:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
for x = 1 to session.Contents.Count
Response.write "Variable = " & session.Contents.key(x) & ", Value = "
Response.write session.Contents.item(x) & "&lt;br&gt;"
next
</font id=code></pre id=code>

Now the odd part: just now I loaded the same pages and it's all back to normal!! I wonder if my hosting company's server has anything to do with it. I did not mention the same company's 2nd server (or at least, 2nd domain) worked fine with IE6 earlier. This kind of seeming inconsistency is...a bit disturbing. I also ran a couple older pages known to be bug-free -- the same error, and subsequent recovery, occurred. I wish I had IE5.5 or older to test.

Mail me the links if you want and i can test it on both 5 & 6.

Hi, leed,

Thanks for the offer.

I think it's IE6. I found the following post which appears to describe the same (allegedly) buggy behavior:
