I need to create an array with a session variable. According to my book, the following should work,. but if fails
for each key in request.QueryString
if left(key,6) = "cboRun" then
iIndex = cint(mid (key,7))
response.Write(iIndex & "<br>")
session.Contents("iRunNo")(iIndex)=iIndex
end if
next
it is the (iIndex) part which fails. If I remove this, then I can create a
single session variable.
I delete the files/cookies and clear history from the IE 6.0 browser and try to write in a text file use FSO but it dont write any thing in the file needs Code:

I have created a session variable.... and i have to write code to check for
this session for each ASP webpage in my website....Is there a alternative
I do not want to repeat the same code for valid session.... in each page..
I first create a session variable 'client' in the login.asp file
The login.asp file opens a file (xxx.asp) with an include file
If I write
<!--#include file="../../../data/" & session("client") &
"/language_ger.inc"-->
I have a message stating that the application can't find the file.
If I write the path without the variable (" & session("client") & ")
<!--#include file="../../../data/eurovini/language_ger.inc"-->
it works without any problem.
Question
- is there is an error in the syntax?
- is it possible to include this kind of variable in an include file.
And if not, any idea to get the same result?
I'm new and I hope I explain this correctly.I have a products page which populate products dynamically with checkboxes. when the form is submitted, I check for selected boxes using the split(). My problem is, products page submits the form to client.asp, and within that page is client info. then the client page is submitted to confirmOrders.asp, which will display client info, and products selected. the split() works fine within the client.asp page. I'm trying to assign the checkboxs to a Session variable and use it on confirmOrder.asp. Then display the session variable on confirmOrders.asp page. I know I can do everything in one shot with confirmOrders.asp, but the client wants to display the client.asp page then the latter. hmm...hope this makes sense.
<client.asp>
Session("myarray") = Request.Form("chkproduct")
<orderConfirm.asp>
strP = Session("myarray")
p_Array = Split(strP,",")
For i = 0 to UBound(p_Array)
Response.Write p_Array(i) & "<br>"

Is there a simple way to store session variable on the client-side

I want to keep the value of user entry on the text field of an html form

Quit simple: I try to make a session variable on a hiddenframe like:
document.contexthiddenform.URLattach.value = URLvar;
document.contexthiddenform.target = 'hiddenframe';
document.contexthiddenform.action = 'context_hiddenframe.asp';
document.contexthiddenform.submit();
}
</script>
<%
session("sesURLattach") = Request("URLattach")
Response.Write "<script>" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "alert('" & session("sesURLattach") & "');" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "alert('" & Session.Timeout & "');" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "</script>" & vbcrlf
%>
</form>
The value of session variable is shown and the timeout value (60) shown as well. But immediately I get the error message "a timeout has been occurred, you have to log in again". If I make the highlighted sentence comment then I don't get the error.
Has somebody an idea why I receive immediately the timeout error?
A user field called 'Custom1' exists in my data base. This user field is used to hold a URL path to a custom download page for clients. Each client has their own unique URL which directs them to specific locations.What would the proper format be for the variable:
=Session("Cutstom1")
to be able to be displayed as a hyperlink with the label: "DOWNLOADS" while at the same time sending the current user to the 'value' / 'path' to which the Custom1 field contains? I am not an advanced coder and am just starting out with basics.
I assume that mostly,asp programmers use their own session variable to know whether a user is to be considered is-logged-on(together with a home-written log-on form web page).
However, I wonder if there is a convention for the name of such a variable?And does asp/iis have a built-in is-logged-on status variable? For example when IIS is to render a normal html page with an acl that invokes a basic authentication, can I as an asp programmer make use of that status variable, and can I write to it to force a logout programatically?
So, this is not about it there is a session as such, it is about beeing logge-on inside an asp-session. I've looked around but haven't found any good info on this.
I have drop down for selection of council - it is then passed to a session variable - it works fine to display the variable, but when I put it into a hidden field, if the value was Milwaukee it is fine, but if the value was Green Hills, it only puts Green in the hidden field. How can I fix this - I need it to put Green Hills in the hidden field.

If i hot the refresh button a few times the session variable data comes back. Somebody please tell me they've experienced this 'cos i'm losing my mind ! I've updated the page to show the variable, and it does and i've removed underscores from filenames (apparently a possible problem with IIS 6)
i'm using the dundas freelib upload code to upload files in my website. when the user choses to upload a file a new window is opened and the upload procedure goes fine and the file is uploaded successfully. but the problem is the i want to know the name of the file in the parent window to save it in the database.
i tried to use a session variable which contains the name of the file but it dosen't work. the parent window contains a form which is used to insert new data in the database so i can't use the upload window to insert the filename in the database.

I have a declared a session variable array. I want to create an array in my client side vbscript with the same values. I know you can set an array in server side script equal to the session variable array.

I know this does not work.
AryDocCache()= <%=Session ("DocCache")%>
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 have an ecommerce site that works okay. My problem is that at the point where credit cards are put in I get an unique ID from the database which gets put into a session variable and then the user goes through makes the transaction and all is well.
The problem comes where if the browser isn't shut down you can go through the shopping process again but the session variable stays the same and this is causing me concern.
What I want to do is if the person leaves the site then the session variable is destroyed. Is there a line of code that can do such a thing or am I being simplistic in my approch?

really that awful to use them? If you shouldn't use them, then what is the

Is it true that a user has to allow cookies in order for a session variable

What is the generally preferred method of storing a shopping cart?
Database, cookies or server variables? All I need to save is the product #

co-workers say use a database. My mentor says use a dictionary object.
I've a problem with trying to retrieve a session variable in an include file.
Basically, the main asp creates a session variable:
<% Session("var1") = "Hello" %>
And then when I click on a button it refers to the include file, which I
believe is all client-side code as there are no server <% %> tags.
I want to be able to use this session variable in the include file, how do I
do this?
If I try retrieving this session variable with Session("var"), it will come
up with an error saying that it has a type mismatch 'Session'.
The session state is enabled in IIS manager and appears to be working with
the other session variables in asp's not written with the server tags <% %>.
The include file has the .asp extension and has two language sections and I
want to use the session variable within the vbscript language tag like this: Code:
