Just wondering if any of my fellow web developers may have run into this problem...
We have a CF and ASP application (slowly getting migrated to CF) which is working fine for most of us. However, those of us with IE 6 will sometimes see weird behaviour. What's happening is that we log into the application, and have some user information stored via Session variables. Taking an action causes a new window to be opened with detail information. When this detail window is closed, our session information seems to be dropped. Trying to view detail again, or refreshing the main screen returns us to our login routine. This is not a timeout issue as this occurs within 1 minute of logging in. The pages in question are ASP pages, using ASP session variables. We've tested this with an IE 5.5 installation, and Netscape 4.76 & 6.2 installations, and do not see this behaviour. But, we DO see this behaviour with IE 6. So, does anyone know why IE 6 would drop a session like this? While we are ok with the security end of things, this behaviour is damn annoying to us, and probably to our clients who also use the application. I know that one fix would be to use cookies to store our user info, but that would expose too much of a security risk. Thanks in advance.
