Here is my problem in a nutshell. I'm am trying to make my site work with both users who allow cookies and those who don't. When I go to check for cookies, I try to pass a session variable back to my script. However those that don't have cookies for some reason don't get the session variable either. Any ideas why this happens?
cuz there's 2 diferent kind of cookies!
look in your security setting of your browser!
Thats because Session are implemented using cookies, the session id is passed at every request in a cookie so if one has cookie disabled then you wont be able to use session object.Quote:

The only way to 100% cover those paranoid users that totally disable ciookies, is to pass the values from page to page in hidden input tags.
That is why many developers simply put disclaimers on their apps that cookies must be enabled.
This problem is overcome in ASP.Net because if you start a session, the session id is passed in the URL line/form data so that IIS can always identify a user.
I believe there's also an ISAPI filter in one of the IIS resource kits that'll do this.Quote:
