Hi Jim, I'm note sure if this is indeed related to your problem, but I did recall seeing a warning on a site about not using the Back button. http://librarycatalogue.rnib.org.uk/ If you select the "Search the Library Catalogue" button, it will take you to: http://librarycatalogue.rnib.org.uk/WebZ/Authorize?sessionid=0 where is says not to use the back button. All being well, you might see something in their source, or be able to get more info from your lady friend there. George.

This button evokes a "HTTP_Serverlet_Request do POSt" command essentially passing data from the web form to the backend server.... in my case this data is then passed to the mainframe for specific validation. If for what ever reason the validation fails a form pops up informing of the failure and the user then typically presses the IE Back Button to return them to the data input form. However instead of displaying said form, the previously mentioned IE "Session Expired / Session Time out" error form is displayed. Now, this doesn't occur each and every time and now only exists in IE and not any other browser.... If I code my own back button and not rely upon IE's BB then I have no issue. Like I said in the first message Firefox has resolved this but there is no indication as to how they did it or what the cause in the first place was.

George.

I've spent some time on Google researching the issue of the Back Button in IE and the "Session Expired / Session Time out" issue. I've not found a reasonable explanation or resolution aside from actually scripting a button and using code to work around it. Has any one found a solution to the IE issue? Firefox has released a patch sometime ago that did resolve the issue but since most users are IE users I was hoping, actually praying for some guidance. Jim James M.
