Hello there!

Is there anyway i can use ASP session management when my client can't accept cookies? I had the idea of maybe passing the session ID in a variable in a form when the page is built on the server and then recuperating it to recall the session context. Would that be feasible?
and if so, how in the world is that done

BTW I can't execute any code on my client! It's a mobile phone...

If anyone has an idea, please feel free to share!;)

Thanks a bunch!

You can't use ASP's native session management without cookies.

If you constructed your own session management you could store a session value in a form. You would have to make sure everything that someone does in the application caused a form submission however. That might not be as easy as it sounds. With a browsing device like a phone however, it might be easier than with a standard web browser.

The other option is to embed the session ID in the querystring of the URL for everything.

Thanks Peter,
I was kindda whishing I wouldn't get that answer but oh well
About your other option with the session ID in the querystring and creating my own session management scheme, does it imply that I have a temporary database somewhere that contains the session info and that I call onto to reestablish the context? or smthg like that...?

Cheers,
Marilyn

That's typically how it's done and that's the way I'd recommend doing it. You create a DB table for retaining all that data.

I'm rather surprised that a mobile phone that is web enabled wouldn't support cookies.
