Session variables....
they experies after 20 min or so.... is this determined on the server, or
can i instruct the server to keep the session variables for as long as the
duration as the browser stays open?

I think its usually set to 20 minutes automatically,
but you can change that using Session.Expires = X

session variables are stored on the server till you instruct them to be
destroyed. the session id is stored in a cookie (usually). a cookie by
default is destroyed when you close the window but you can set this to a
value in your script.

Well, I suppose that you could have:

Session.Timeout=360

But this means that every variable for every user is stored for 6 hours -
even after they leave the site, if you don't abandon the session.

Thanks

Session variables last for as long as the user is on your site -
regardless of time. They are automatically destroyed under 2
conditions - if the user leaves your site, or if the users has had a
page open with no activity for 20 minutes. They can also be
programatically destroyed.

that;s just perfect... when people close the window i want it to be
destroyed
