The server performs session traking by keeping track of when a specific person visited a site The first
time a client connecs to the server, the server gives the user a unique session ID . Next time whenever
the client msessin IDs stored in the memory and if a match is found, then it uses it Active server pages
use the of minutes a session exists before it expires (the default value for Time – out property is 20
minutes. ).
The session object’s method Abandon can terminate an individual session.
With cookies, we restried to save only simple data types on the clients computer. But , a session object
can be used to store any type of variable. Event to store arrays. To show this. Create an .. SP page with
the name CreateSession Array . asp follows;
