Simple Postback using Session Variable

[Scott]

I'm trying to set a session variable after displaying a form, then capture
the Session variable on postback. For some reason, the below code always
returns the form, not the "Step 2" results part.

What am I doing wrong? It's on a local network server, not on the web if
that matters.

<%
'* Step 2: Display results
'**********************************************
If Session("PageAction") = "view2" Then
Response.Write "Results"



'* Step 1: Display form
'**********************************************
Else
%>

<form name="myform" method="post" action="postback.asp">

<%
Session.Contents.RemoveAll()
Session("PageAction") = "view2"
%>
<input type="submit" value="View Results" name="submit1">

<%
End If
%>

For some reason, your session variables are being discarded. See
http://www.aspfaq.com/2157 for some possible reasons (the most common reason
is that you are developing locally or on an intranet, and there is an
underscore in the name of the server you are connecting to).

ip address fixed it. thanks.

I'm not sure I understand why you're yelling at me about it?

Probably because you were convenient and when you spend a bunch of time
looking for a programming solution to a simple configuration problem you
want to yell at somebody (other than yourself)!
