ASP session reset question

I'm scratching my head a bit about why this happens - can anyone shed any
light?

When a user goes through our online purchasing system and their session
information gets recorded, when proceeding to our next page and then
clicking the back button in their browser, the session variables are reset.
Its not that the session is timing out or being forced to end when visiting
the next page (or when reloading the previous page), but regardless, the
variables are reset.

This is a problem because during the purchasing procedure several items from
the order go missing, meaning the purchase doesn't go through properly.

Any ideas why a simple back button press in the browser by a user would
cause a session to be reset?

Thanks very much for any help.

I have a site which is using sessions to pass data from one page through to the next. The problem that I have is that there are only two places where the session could/should be destroyed. This is where a form is printed using : <input type="button" name="Button" value="Print Order" onClick="window.print();"> or when the order form is reset using a JavaScript function :

I am having some trouble with seesion variables. I have just moved hosting companies to Brinkster.com but have been having problems with my applications holding session. They say they can't guarantee sessions and recomend another method of storing persistant data. I questioned them on why, only on their servers, my sessions are being reset as often as they are. They said it must be a coding issue.

Hi folks, ASP.NET 1.1 question for you folks. I'm working on a web aplication that stores some objects in the session. What is happening is that after I reach a certain page, the session is reset. Here is the information: 1. Cookies are enabled. 2. Session is 'InProc'.

I have been using the default session state (InProc) and have found that I have been loosing my information after a period of time (normally 20 minutes). Is there anyway to find out how much more time I have on a session? If I do a refresh, does reset the session clock? Do you have have to go to another page to reset the session timeout or will a postback also do it? This is important as we have a few pages that a user

It doesn't currently seem possible to switch between different users using SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION.

Hello, How can you clear session variables when a reset button is pressed? I thought I might be able to do something like: <% If request.form("Reset") = "Reset" then Session("variable") = Null %>

I am a little confused on how Session Timeout is handled. Does the session timeout counter get reset on each postback or is it always counting down until it expires regardless of postbacks? -- ----------------------------------- Ken Varn Senior Software Engineer Diebold Inc.
