Dear Jerry

Thanks for replying. Sorry to hear about your crystal ball :-)

I guess I was hoping to blame it on some error with IE6 session
handling, but it must be my fault then. This is my code:

In the template:

session_cache_limiter('none');
$_SESSION["allow_script"] = "allow_script";

In the external javascript file:

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION["allow_script"]))
{
if($_SESSION["allow_script"] == "allow_script")
{
?>

javascript code here

<?
unset($_SESSION["allow_script"]);
}
}
else
{
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
}
exit();
?>

I can use other PHP code in the external javascript file, so that is
not the problem. It appears to me that it does not like any reference
to the session. This is only a problem in IE6. I have tried it
without unsetting the variable at the end and also without exit(). No
joy.

Thanks so much for any pointers
Frances
