hi!
i'm at the end of building some quite big system.
i'm using session.timeout = 60 to let the users fill all the needed info in the long forms. i also added a javascript clock to remind you how much time is remain to the session disconnection.

in one of my forms, i have a link with the attribute target=_new to open the link in a new window.
if i'm clicking on it, and the new window is opened i'm redirected to the "Timeout Page" i built which redirects me to the login page.

if i'm copying the link address and paste it at the address field in the browser - i can see the page with no session timeout messages.
I'm using internet Explorer.
Any idea?
Thanks,
InfreaRed?

It might have something to do with cache. One of the ASP systems I developed had me dumbfounded because I was copying the URL, logging out, and then pasting the URL, and it actually let me view restricted pages after I had logged out. The reason was because the pages were cached and as soon as I clicked refresh, the login page shown.

Try disabling page caching.

Regards.
