Apologies if this has been asked before. I search all over but could only find similar situations that did not solve my problem.
In my site, have a 4-page registration form. I use sessions to save the user-inputs before saving to db. I also use SSL in all 4 pages.
Now IExplorer acts really weird the first time I attempt to fill out the pages. After entering info on 1st page and hitting the button to go to page 2, IE will give me an error as:
in IE 4.x, "The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response" dialog box
in IE 5.0, it will display an error page in HTML saying I need to hit refresh button
OK, so I hit the refresh button and things work fine from then on. BUT if I clear the IE cache and history, and attempt to fill-out the registration again, I will run into the same error message again.
It seems like IE is not writing something to it's cache. When I hit the refresh button, something gets saved to the cache and I never encounter the problem again - even if I restart IE and re-register. When I clear the cache, the problem returns.
This problem doesn't happen with Netscape at all.
Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks,
GPF
