Session variable for dynamic xml file using form value. Works in Mozilla not in IE

Thanks bol, will try it now and feedback to you.

Aggh this is crazy. I have used the abandon session and various other combinations (abandon content etc) and still the same issue. Works fine in Mozilla but in IE the variable sticks.

The player works like this:

page1: Select school (from database) passes frmschool value to -
page 2: select term (selects valid terms based on Request.Form("frmschool") passes frmterm and hidden field frmschool to -
page3: Select band (based on term and school) passes frmband value to -

Playit.asp which has two flash movies. one purely graphic, like a screen saver and a flash player that plays the track. At the top of this page I have <%Session("BandID")=Request.Form("frmband")%>

The track for the player is supplied by another page - playlist_xml.asp which uses the session("BandID") to get the track link (whateversong.mp3) from the database and the dynamic variable of this is precceded with htp://www.blabla to create the link for the mp3 file for the player....

Phew hope that makes some sense?

On the FIRST page of the chain I have added <% Session.Contents.Remove("BandID") %>

This is all working fine just not in IE7.......

Not sure how helpfull posting the pages will be but if I post the dynamic xml page It may help shed some light. The other ages are simple forms in a chain.

The only hunch I have is if the dynamic xml page isn't active somehow..although it seems to be in Mozilla

Thanks - I'm getting desperate now

THIS IS THE DYNAMIC XML PGE

RsTrack__ParamBandID = "60"
If (Session("BandID")<> "") Then 
  RsTrack__ParamBandID = Session("BandID")         
End If
%>
<%
Dim RsTrack
Dim RsTrack_cmd
Dim RsTrack_numRows
 
Set RsTrack_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
RsTrack_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_mtechconn3_STRING
RsTrack_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT tblBands.BandName, tblSchools.SchoolName, tblSchools.SchoolCrest, tblTracks.TrackName, tblTracks.TrackLink FROM tblSchools RIGHT JOIN (tblBands LEFT JOIN tblTracks ON tblBands.BandID = tblTracks.TrackBandID) ON tblSchools.SchoolID = tblBands.BandSchoolID WHERE (((tblBands.BandID)= ?)) GROUP BY tblBands.BandName, tblSchools.SchoolName, tblSchools.SchoolCrest, tblTracks.TrackName, tblTracks.TrackLink" 
RsTrack_cmd.Prepared = true
RsTrack_cmd.Parameters.Append RsTrack_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 5, 1, -1, RsTrack__ParamBandID) ' adDouble
 
Set RsTrack = RsTrack_cmd.Execute
RsTrack_numRows = 0

RsTrack.Close()
Set RsTrack = Nothing

Meant to add that on the player page itself there is an option to 'choose another track' which takes you back to the Select school page to reselect, this is where the abandon session code is...

Thanks

A few things to check:

You've checked browser security settings and cookies are allowed, correct?
Does your host name have an underscore in it?
Have you tried adding the domain in question to your trusted sites?
Have you tried using a client side cookie rather than a session variable?

Take a look here:

Please note this has now been solved. Trying to find a way to mark it as so!

Thanks for your help

Good job on the solution and thanks for posting it.  If you haven't already figured out how to "mark it as solved" or have this closed then you just need to click on the Delete Question link.  It should be visible to you in the question body by the Translate select list.  Click it to let a moderator know.  In the box where you can enter some info you should note that you solved this yourself and ask for PAQ/refund.  A moderator will respond by posting here and within a few days it will be closed.

Let me know if you have a question about doing this.  I'm glad it is solved.
