[Xerte-dev] Re: session issue + example_zipper issue

[Smith, John]

Hi Ron

That's the strange thing - IE10 is still very common so i would expect there to be lots of reports of issues but i can only remember 1 other session issue.

What's even more strange is that both you and Julian have very similar errors but with different browsers and that you only get the error in IE10 but not in Firefox whereas Julian is having firefox issues.

Can either of you document the exact steps to reproduce with browser versions and clearing cache AND cookies beforehand? Then we can try to get some other people to follow the exact steps to try to find the commonality.

Hi John
I also tried a copy of the xampp I've been using on a desktop with IE11 and no problems with that either. So it might be IE10 specific or just my IE10 but it seems there's something causing a problem with the latest XOT code because the same xampp and same IE10 no problems with the earlier revisions. Will see if I can test on a different IE10 PC too. I know that could mean that upgrading the IE 10 to 11 might resolve the issue but I don't want to do that because IE 10 is still common especially in Colleges.

Of course this also leaves the fact that Julian is getting session issues with Firefox that we aren't. :-(

Cheers
Ron
