Hi, I am having a plain html page (session.html) with UserName and password and SUBMIT button. After pressing SUBMIT button, it will open a page (query.cgi). On this page I am creating a session and writing the cookie.
2 Separate problems :
-----------
1. Cookies are not being written in Cookies folder.
2. If I press refresh button on browser for "query.cgi" it creates a new session. I want the same session after refresh button is pressed. Please helpme to achieve this. ( I dont want to use cookie)
