DS What about browsers that don't support cookies for whatever reason? you can tell the web-app to use a cookieless method that appends a session id to the end of the querystring for all users. DS Does the security really work better? in what way?? setting up secure sites is very easy, and pretty secure and again, very little extra code for you to write. DS Supposedly, ASP.net will adjust to any browser - how well does that DS really work? i'm guessing you mean with the rich controls?? things like the calender?? it sort-of works! if you're using ie you get the full js enabled whistles and bells version. if you're using anything else you don't!! there are several components that have replaced the standard ms js with cross browser stuff, so now you can use the validation controls with client-side validation on all browsers. hth, darren The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:wdvltalk-join;lists.wdvl.com Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Diane, I just bought Visual Studio.net It's a *fantastic* IDE. I'm still getting to grips with it but I'm starting to think it could well be the third thing I like that MS have done :-) ASP.net (supposedly) maintains session state much better, but it uses cookies to do so. Sure, it needs to make sure the session ID is there for the next page. What about browsers that don't support cookies? The site at where I work (http://www.witanjardine.co.uk/, and I didn't have anything to do with it) is written in standard ASP, and if you visit it without cookies, you just get a session ID automatically stuck on the end of each URL. I imagine this is done automatically when IIS serves up the page (PHP works in exactly this way). Visitors with cookies will see: http://example.com/url And visitors without will see: http://example.com/url?sessionID=oneOfThoseMicrosoftGUIDs I'm not absolutely certain this is how ASP.NET does it, but I'll be amazed if it's substantially different.

I've had VS.NET since last April but I have yet to come to grips with the interface. Got any good book suggestion? I've seen what it can do for someone who understand the IDE but that person isn't me. I always end up giving up after an hour (sometimes 2) of frustration and go back to coding it either by hand or using Dreamweaver MX. I *hated* Visual Studio 6 and Visual InterDev so that maybe part of the problem. Cheryl D.
