Problem with session variables

[DrStern]

HI there,

This is my case, I’m assigning some value to my session variable in a parent window. Like this:

<cfset session.mySessionVariable = “x”>

Then, in a popup, I am assigning that value to another variable. As in:

<cfset otherVariable = session.mySessionVariable>

Then, after a snippet of code, I initialize the session variable. As in:

<cfset session.mySessionVariable = “”>

Then I close the popup.

That works fine. But when “x” changes its value, that is, session.mySessionVariable changes in the parent window and I open the popup again, session.mySessionVariable keeps the old value from the previous time that I pop it up.

Do you guys know what’s wrong with it?

Thank you!!!

Are you locking the session variable correctly?

If you only use read access the variable will not update.

Take a look at the CFLOCK

I might suggest cache issues..

Have you tried right-click >> Refresh and seeing if the value changes?
