Internet Explorer does not support my asp classic application but all other browsers do………

I am facing a problem in internet explorer with my asp classic application. i am working on asp application which is a kind of search engine returns results depending upon certain criteria. This application is working fine on all browsers except internet explorer. in IE after 2-3 results the sessions got mixed up or blank resulting in wrong result or error. there is no technical error as none of other browser shows such kind of problem. i need to delete the cookies in order to make it work well again on IE. Can any one help me in this issue.

Two questions regarding your header…

1- How to have it in html ?

I’m thinking of something like:

2- In which file to have it ? In the file containing the frameset or in each included frame file ?

Thanks !

I highly regard security, as a matter of fact, from the very beginning of my programming career I have been obsessed with security. But that doesn’t mean one could go over the top and make security measures that have huge trade-offs.

Some of the security measures Microsoft has introduced are really laughable, just ask how many people turn off UAC as the first thing when they use Windows Vista. Similar securities measures have been in place on *nix (including OS X) systems for ages but apparently Microsoft decided to come over the top and make user experience far worse.

Well, making a website broken is not logical to me. Besides, I don’t see how IE would be any securer than Firefox, Safari and Opera, etc.

I admin a system where everyone logs in with just a username, no passwords. Then someone decided some reasonable security was in order, and we start requiring a password. So you call us angrily and say that breaking the program for you is not logical.

You can disregard security practices all you want, but don’t expect the world to accomodate you.

Thank you SO much for this fix. I’ve been tearing my hair out all day trying to sort out this issue. I built the site on my local machine, everything worked fine. It works on all the REAL browsers like ff, safari, opera and even google chrome. It also works on most versions of ie (confusingly it worked on some versions of ie 7 as well :S), but on my ie 7 and a few other copies, it stubbornly refused to work.

I wish I’d found this post earlier in the day. That one line of code was the solution to about 5 hours of struggling.

THANK YOU.

Fred, sorry but, the session and the cookies works well in IE7. The fact is that it does not works with different domains (it works with subdomains) for logical securty reasons.
