How To Clear Cookies In ASP?
I have a website that would set two cookies when a user logs in
successfully.
<%
response.cookies("login_status")="OK"
response.cookies("login_id")="12345"'This value is from database.
response.cookies("login_id").domain="mysitexyz.com"
%>
and I have a question in "removing/deleting/cleaning the cookie when
the user logs out.
From my understanding there are two methods -
#1 (I am currently using)
response.cookies("login_status")=""
response.cookies("login_id")=""
#2
response.cookies("login_status").expires=now
response.cookies("login_id").expires=now
My questions is, what's the difference, advantage and disadvantage of
these two methods?
I am asking this because I have noticed that there are some problems
in #1. In my computer (I use IE7) if I login as one user, logout, and
then login as another user, the cookie value will get mixed up.
Somehow the response.cookies("login_status") can display correctly but
response.cookies("login_id") cannot. But if I clean my browser cache,
close my IE and reopen it, both cookies work fine.

In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.

I have a form submission page that I am using some session variables that are created on the page in order to keep track of the information that they have already inputted - so when they click submit if there are any errors the fields that are correct remain populated.However, I am wondering is there a way that if they navigate away from this one page all the session variables that are created are removed so if they come back to the page they need to re-enter the information?
Something like "on page exit - remove session("name")..." ?

I am worried of accumulated old cart product selections from expired browser windows or other unforseen events. I am holding selected productID's & quantities & userID & sessionID in a sql table from a shopping cart.
I allow user to clear their cart from a button and also automatically clear their cart on user logon. Also on checkout I clear their cart. I am storing selections with sessionID & UserID so they will be unique,. But does anyone reccomend any other cart selection maintenance procedure i could use,.

I have an image gallery in a database and I display one item at random with each refresh. I also have 2 buttons "next" and "previous" to show next or previous items in my recordset. Everything works well except for the fact that once the user has used either "next" or "previous" it leaves my query string in the url bar:
index.asp?action=previous
therefore, if I click "refresh" it continues to display either the next or previous entries instead of dislaying at random like it should.
How can I clear the query string from the url if the commend comes from the refresh button?

I have a non anonymous site in IIS5
The site is for collecting any kind of data from employees.
Authentication is done with the server variable "Logon_User"
Pages:
start.asp - Authentification mask appears -->
form.asp - form for data input -->
form_ack.asp - displays the data again and stores in SQL when
acknowledged in checkboxes
After data are stored I'd like to have a button such as "Log off"
which points back to start.asp.
In the samples I tried there is always the current logged in user
present even when I do a "session.abandon" or
"Session.Contents.Remove"
But how can I "reset" the current logged in user?

I am creating a user tracking app that tracks a user one of two ways...
1)First Method is cookies
2)Second Method MS SQL DB
I first check if the users browser accepts cookies if not I go to the db. If the user accepts cookies then I check for a specific crumb if it does not have the value I am looking for I kill it and rewrite it. This is working fine (im in the middle of testing it). The problem is I decieded to test the script with NN7 and not turn cookies off but block cookies from my site and all fell apart. The condition that I have set (detect if cookies are enabled) does not stop the script from trying to set a Session Variable because the browser accepts cookies and to keep a long story short it goes into an infinite loop because the script is looking for a Session value and Its not being stopped becaues the script thinks its alright to write cookies! Is there a way to detect if a user has your sites cookies blocked? This is important because Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") will return .Cookies = True and you will not know that your script is not executing properly because a user has your sites cookies blocked but excepts them elsewhere...

I've built a website which requires a user to log-in to access the site. I have already built a page that enters their details into a db (register.asp), and another page where the user enters their email address (the log-in ID) to actually log-in (login.asp).
How can I use a cookie to automatically log a user in??
More specifically, what are the commands to set a cookie (upon successful registration) and access it (upon re-logging in)?

Hey i've spent the last few hours trying to work this problem out about cookies.
When a user logs in to the site the login.asp page checks the database to see the personal page that the user re directs to e.g if bob brown logged in he would be redirected to bob.brown.asp. This is stored in a field in the database table along with the username and password.
i would like to put a cookie onto the users computer that remembers the url they were redirected to so when they press the main page button it would look for the cookie and see what url they are meant to be redirected to and take them there
My current login system is this ....

I'm trying to load up a page through my asp page and get the cookie from that page so that I can use it later on when it needs to have it to access other parts of the site.
Basically the asp page is going to act like a browser and store the cookie from the other site, then send that cookie back when the asp page goes back to the other site again.
The problem is, I can only seem to access my own cookie. I didn't run into this problem when I was doing a similar thing inside my .cs scripts that were run by the server, as I suppose they were not coming from the actual domain that my page is running on (and thus, wasn't getting everything trampled by local cookies).
Is this possible, or should I just give up on it now?

im building a site for a few doctors surgeries. the user is able to see what appointments are available and then book that date/time. i have a table (in my db) of dates/times and a checkbox to say whether the time has been booked or not (and display only times that havnt been booked). i was going to have the user add the time to a "cart" and then check the "booked" checkbox in my db when theyve paid for that appointment. but if i have lots of people looking at the site at the same time, then they may be able to see times that are just about to be booked. i think a better way is to have the date/time stuffed into a cookie which expires after 5 minutes. so when a user adds a time to their "cart", it will say something like: "this time will expire in 5 minutes until you book it or re-add it to your cart". does that make sense?
how can i do this with server-cide cookies (im using jscript)? can anyone think of a better way to do this?
