I'm porting an old application to an ASP/SQL Server environment. Being
that it's a rushed project, and the application will only have one user
(who would rather do all this on a type writer), I decided to use
session variables. I figured it would save time.
The first problem I ran into was when the session would time out. I
fixed this by setting a value in the Session_onstart, and checking that
value at the top of my pages. If the value doesn't =3D True, the
session had timed out, redirect to timeout.asp. This worked fine.
However, in some areas of the site I call session.abandon. These are
areas where the user no longer needs the current values in the session.
What I've found is that after calling the abandon method, the value I
set in Session_OnStart still returns True even though all my other
session values have been abandoned. Can someone explain to me why this
is, and what I can do to work around it.
For the sake of argument, here's the little bit of code handling all
this...
************Global.asa****************
Sub Session_OnStart
Session("Alive") =3D True
End Sub
*************incSessionActive.asp*******
If Session("Alive") <> True then
Response.Redirect "Timeout.asp"
End If
Thanks,
Jerry

oh, this happens when the user goes to one of the pages that calls
session.abandon, then hits the back button, then hits refresh.

If the user hit the refresh button, would that automatically create a
new session and call Session_OnStart, setting my value back to true?
