Sessions not retained in Firefox/Safari

Hi

I'm using several Sessions in my app. When the user has cookies enabled in
their browser, everything works fine. But with cookies disabled, only IE
seems to remember the sessions. In Firefox and Safari, the session values
seem to be "forgotten" .

I've looked around on Google but can't find any solutions to this problem.
Plus I don't know how debug with Firefox (eg. step through the code).

So, basically I have two questions:
1. Any idea why non-IE browsers are losing their sessions when cookies are
disabled?
2. How can I step through code using non-IE browsers?

Thanks
Chris

by default session support requires cookies (you must not haver cookies off
in IE, chck the zone, and be sure cookies are disabled for that zone).

you can use cookieless sessions, (see web config), but this munge the
session id into the url, so your urls look like

mysite.com/applicaion/numericsessioni d/page.aspx

Hi I have two quicktime plugins embedded in a webpage. I want to hide one and display the other. Then I want to load a movie into the hidden player. When the first player is finished playing, I hide it, and show the hidden player. In IE I do this by setting the z-index of the quicktime objects. This however do not work in other browsers. Is there a way to stack two players on top of each other using the z-index with plugins?

Hi Gang, I would like to have my application retain sessions even after the user closes their browser window, up unil the time the session is supposed to time out. Right now if the user closes IE their session is re-created. Is there any way around this? Thanks, Christian Blackburn

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
