On Session_OnStart () getting fired when going from page to page at the same level as the global.asa

Steve Mauldin

This is a standard ASP application that has several pages at the root
withthe global.asa. I set a session variable session("accoun tid") =
"123456" within an asp page and then response.redire ct to the next page and
immediately response.write session("accoun tid") and I get back nothing.
But if I set a session variable session("accoun tid") = "123456" within an
asp page and response.redire ct to a page in a sub directory and immediately
response.write session("accoun tid") I get back 123456 on the screen.
Please help.

Steve,

Looks like the Session_OnStart is not firing, probably because the folder is
not set up as an application, etc.

Manohar,

The folder is setup as an application and I have tested the global.asa and
it is firing on eachpage load in the the root directory. I set in the
Session On Start in the global.asa a session variable session("accoun tid") =
"000000" then I call page1.asp in the root and issue session("accoun tid") =
"123456" and then response.write session("accoun tid") and I get 123456 on
the screen. I then response.redire ct to page2.asp and response.write
session("accoun tid") and I get 000000 on the screen. The Global.asa
session on start is getting fired on every page load in the root. This is
the first time I have ever seen this happen and I have done several ASP
applications. Any Ideas would be helpful. And, If anyone is wondering,
cookies are turned on and if I use cookies to pass data from page to page it
works fine. I am trying to move to session variables so when I port to
ASP.NET I can use munging instead of cookies. Thanks for the help.

Thanks all for the help. I was able to figure this out. Session.abandon
does not actually execute until the page is completed and I had an
session.abandon in an included header page. so the session variable that was
set was getting
wiped at the end of the page, Doh!

response.cookie in session_onstart event and IE 6.0 cookie acceptance

by: wannaknow | last post by:

When I set a cookie in global.asa in the sub session_onstart, even if I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is still set, and I can get it on other pages. I can't find an article that addresses this as a specific issue. Why does the browser get the cookie when it is set in the session_onstart event even when I have "block all cookies" set?
