strange problem possibly related to caching

Gav
Hi all,

I'm having this strange problem where, in a web app, I have 2 different
links to a different form. One is just a straight forward link the other is
a bit more complicated because it gets there from a user control I wrote to
display a menu. However both call the page in the same way using
window.open('pa ge.aspx','_top' );

The problem is that:.... The page it calls, in the page load, checks to see
if a session variable is null, if it is it shows a error message and sends
the user back. This works fine the first time you click it exactly how it
should work. however if you click the link in the menu when the var is null
I get sent back then if I click the same link when the var is not null I
still get the error message and get sent back!! however if I click the
straight forward link the page loads. Even after I have the page I can go
back manually click the link in the menu and still get the same error. When
trying to debug it doesn't when clicking the menu option which makes me
believe it has something to do with caching. Although I have;
<META http-equiv="expires" content="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT"> which I
believe should make it expire straight away so therefore always reload
itself.

Hope somebody can help me out? Let me know if you need more info

Gav,

If you are using the window.open function then a new window would be
opened by javascript. A new window has no back/forward page so I am
not sure about some part of your issue.

Since you are using the window.open function each time I am not sure
you will benefit from the cache..

Does your control generate a postback? if it does is the variable
check being done each and every time? if it is you should be able to
put a break point into the code and discover what is not firing.

Lastly, check your html code generated in each instance (first &
second clicks of the control) -- look for differences and possibly
missing html on the second click. Too often we forget that asp.net
just sets up valid html/javascript -- if that underlying code is
incorrect you can trace the cause back to the asp/c# logic.

This was a problem to do with caching...becau se the window.open had '_top'
in the statement it opens it in the current window instead of opening a new
one. Although I was putting the expires tag in, it was writing the
history.back in the Page_load event so it was going back a page before it
wrote the <meta> tag into the page. Just had to make sure I wrote that
first.

Thanks for the help
