I have developed an ASP.NET application for a client that uses IE 5.2 for MAC
as the browser, and I am trying to fix a problem where the pages seem to hang
(it is happening so frequently as to almost render the system unusable). This
hanging always occurs when they click a button, and are to be redirected to
another page. All the actions that the button must do (i.e. database updates
etc.) complete as expected, but the user is not redirected to a new page
(they just get a mac equivalent of an hourglass). This behaviour happens
intermintently, sometimes once every five minutes, sometimes once every
minute, on different buttons. The system works fine using Windows IE.
I have used forms authentication and session variables in the system
(staying with the default Cookies=True setting). I have read some posts
suggesting that page redirects & using cookies could be a problem with Mac
browsers. There has not been a problem with the log-in (which itself will use
a cookie), so I was considering setting Cookies=False in the SessionState
area of web.config to see if this might solve the problem (when I visit the
client). Would this cause me more problems, or does anyone have any other
ideas about what this could be?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
