Browser Issue

[amitg]

Hi

I developed an application that is working fine in IE but showing strange behavior in Firefox/Safari.

The issue is reproduced by following below mentioned steps:

1. Open the browser and open application.
2. Login into the application by entering userid and password.
3. Open another blank browser window.
4. Close the previous window where application was open.
5. Now, in remaining blank window, open application.

It is observed that the user is logged in automatically without entering userid and password. Though it works fine on IE.

Also, the same behavior has been observed for other sites like www.gmail.com and www.mail.yahoo.com.

Could you please help me in finding out how I can make it working on Firefox and Safari.

Thanks in advance
Amit

First off, I have tried, but cannot duplicate your example. Using IE7 it makes me log in again. Same for Firefox and Safari. You probably will find that it works not only for the form logins of Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, but for any form login. This is something you cannot change. It is the behavior of Internet Explorer.

Now, if you want this to work in your web application, you will have to use a server-side language such as PHP or ASP.NET to create sessions. Then you can specify the length of session and call the session using a cookie.
