Session variable is reset in classic ASP

Hello,
Session.Timeout is set to 240. Script.Timeout is also set to very high. Both values are maintained (confirmed using response.write). However, one of the Session variables is set to blank after about 15 minutes or so. Are there any other configuration settings or variables that need to be looked at?
Thanks!

You can try setting it directly on iis

It is in a shared hosting environment. I don't have control over the IIS server.

Hmmm, do you have access to the application pool settings?

You mentioned seeing the timeout property in the code, are you seeing it in the global.asa file as shown at the bottom of the page in the link above?

I don't have access to Application Pool Settings. The site is on GoDaddy. The value is being set in the global.asa file.

I will try the AJAX solution. Thanks.

The Ajax solution is indeed a valid suggestion as I have used it before in my own apps. As for GD bit supporting it in a shared environment, there were multiple questions on stackoverflow stating this, but I didn't want break EE guide lines by posting a link to it.
