Session variable - I don't understand

[nkamp]

Hello,

If I do

session("sesURLattach") = "count351&6%2F13%2F2006%2010%3A31%3A30%20AM&startzoek=nu&MenuItem=BDRF&afkorting=a&bedrijfnaam=a&zoekcategorie=-1&plaats=&zoekland=-1"

then I don't get a timeout error. But if I do (after the submit)

session("sesURLattach") = Request("URLattach")

The value of URLattach is:
count=351&dt=6%2F13%2F2006%2010%3A31%3A30%20AM&startzoek=nu&MenuItem=BDRF&afkorting=a&bedrijfnaam=a&zoekcategorie=-1&plaats=&zoekland=-1

I'm sure of the value because after I fill the session variable I have a response.write with a alert of the session variable. This value is shown in the alert box and at the same time I get the timeout error. Why?? When the document is submitted can it be that the value of document.contexthiddenform.URLattach.value is not on the server at the right time?

Why do I get a timeout error in the second piece of code and not in the first piece of code?????

Does anybody understand this?

Nico.

Can you put in the full URL path, as I think the problem is with your request. I could be wrong, but in you example you dont have a query string object of URLattach.

The request items are

Count = 351
dt = 6%2F13%2F2006%2010%3A31%3A30%20AM
startzoek = nu
MenuItem = BDRF
afkorting = a
bedrijfnaam = a
zoekcategorie = -1
plaats =
zoekland = -1

Maybe try request.querystring() to return everything in the querystring.

Yep vanny is wright.

Your are trying to put something in your session with request.
But you have to say something like :
session("sesURLattach") = Request.querystring("URLattach")

Are you from Belgium or Holland? :)

Hello,

I'm from the Netherlands.
Oké I have it just working now. And afterwards it was very simple and stupid.
The real thing was that the document was build and on the end I did a submit to make a session variable on the server. But after the submit the page was build again..... and on the end the submit again.
I was so focussed on the timeout error that I not realize what was really happening client - server.
If now submit was on and on and on...... again then I had realized it.

Thank you for helping me.

Nico

The way I always do this is to submit to another pages and let that page do all the handling.
