session variables in page refresh

[Rachel80]

Hi,
I encountered the inability to use session variables while doing a page refresh.. the values stored in the session are lost!
Hence I gotta past the value whenever i refresh the page:
<a href=&quot;page.asp?var=4&quot;>
What can I do to retain the values?

Huh? As far as I know, the only way to pass variables to another page is via the query string (as you did above) or on STDIN via a POST. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, or what you're asking.

yeah by using a session var, it works initially..
at the 2nd page, i did a page refresh after selecting an option from a drop-down list:

<option value=&quot;filename.asp?var=xx&quot;>value 1</option>

the session value is lost!
Get what i mean?
