Thanks Jim for your reply... It does not happen when the application is accessed for the first time ever by IE, but every time after that. If I try to repair the installation, it again works for the first time but never again. I have not idea why it is happening. Is there any possibility it could the application or tomcat??
This is very bad, as it was not happening before and we are in final testing, hoping to deploy soon!!!

We have not tried I.E. 6.0 yet, so I can't comment on that. We are running Tomcat 4.0 on Win NT and 2K.

This new window may just contain a JavaScript calendar or a JSP page (dispatched by a servlet). We have been using Internet Explorer 5 till recently to run the application and this has been fine. But we recently upgraded to I.E. 5.5 and 6.0. In both of the new versions, when a new window is opened and then closed, the session in the original window gets nullified. For example, there are places where I need to see a calendar, so I open this calendar in a new window, I use the calendar, then I close the calendar window. I then press a button (in the main window) to go to another page in my application, where all the session values are now displayed as null. Subsequent system error statements show that the session is indeed null. I am not sure this is a tomcat problem or a IE problem (probably a IE problem), but was wondering if anybody has experienced anything similar and if they have solved the problem... Note: I am using tomcat 4.01 Thanks much in advance, Amit Kelkar -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
