My business partner and I have been using the same login code for years now...all of a sudden, there are issues w/IE7. We've been all over the web trying to find 'the' answer, but to no avail. Some suggest different IE settings...this won't work if we have to instruct every visitor to do the same. Some say it's a certain software issue on the server...unfortunately with this occurring on every machine we have (PC, laptop, Mac, etc.) as well as on our server, we don't believe that's the case. We've made changes to the JavaScript, our session variables, etc. and nothing. Note...it also works fine in FireFox and Safari.
So, here's what's going on:
This is a dynamic site built in CF using MS SQL. The site displays basic product and 'marketing' information with 3 of the pages changing when a client logs in. Upon login, certain session variables are set, so these 3 pages contain CFIF statements that basically read...if the session variables exists display the client's information, otherwise display the generic content. In addition, the 'login' fields go away and a 'Welcome [user name]' displays along with 'system-related' and log out links.
The login works just fine, taking users to their 'dashboard'...a page only accessible when they log in. Unfortunately, when we go to any of these 3 pages, and it's random...not specific to one of the three...sometimes it displays the client info just fine, and sometimes, we will still see the generic content and the 'login' fields. HOWEVER...here's the kicker...if I refresh the page, I see the client data every time I go to that page. So the session data is there, but the pages are acting as though we just clicked the Back button...you know??? The same thing happens when I log out. I click log out which deletes the variables and displays the home page with the 'login' fields. However, if I go into one of the three pages, it appears that I'm still logged in...until...yes...I refresh, then does what it's suppose to and goes back to the generic content and log in fields.
I found one article on MS that is similar -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933006...it contains a hot fix, but again, we can't expect our visitors to do this. So any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
