Staying logged in on internet explore

I think that is a styling issues, but I may be mistaken.

I am trying to free up space at the top of the pages and so moving components of the top menu to the footer. this include the sitemenu, search , register, login and logout. I have also noticed that it maybe something to do with the facebook like button keeping me logged in.

in moving the items to the footer I have commented out the contents in the <ul> in <div class="topnav"> and moved them to <div class="art-footer-text"> in the footer (you will notice I am using artisteer) to get these working I have made a couple of changes primarily setting the RenderAsListItem to false:

<portal:RegisterLink ID="RegisterLink1" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="false"   />|
           <portal:LoginLink ID="LoginLink2" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="false" Visible="true"   />
           <portal:LogoutLink ID="LogoutLink1" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="false"   /> 

When I try and log out it logs me straight back in. I've tried placing them back un the header with RenderAsListItem="true" but no joy. I do have some facebook like social settings on the page, I have moved these to a separate page thinking it may be these, but no. I disabled the CSS cashing, performed a ctrl + F5 refresh.

When the mouse is over the logout button it does pointy to my domains logout.aspx

The login and logout works fine on firefox

Any suggestions as to why I still get logged in

Hi,

Try clearing your cache for the domain in IE. To do this, open the site in question and press the f12 key on your keyboard. A screen similar to Firebug will appear, in this screen click 'Cache' menu and select 'Clear Browser Cache for this Domain.'

HTH,

Hi Joe,

Thanks for getting back to me, I have cleared the cache for the domain and this did not resolve the issue, then cleared the entire cache and still the same.

The logout does take me to logoff.aspx but does not logoff. This still only seams to be i.e. specific as firefox is OK.

Do you have any other suggestions on debugging?

Cheers

Simon

Re: Staying logged in on internet explore

It sounds like you have something that prevents clearing the cookies. Authentication is based on cookies and logging out means clearing the cookies. You can try clearing the cookies from your browser. Maybe you have some toolbar installed or anit-virus or privacy guard or something that is preventing the cookies from being updated or cleared.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Staying logged in on internet explore

Getting stumped on this one.

it is machine and browser specific. I can log off on another PC using ie8 and any machine using firefox.

I have cleared all cashe, history, cookies etc...

have looked in

.....local/Microsoft/Windows temporary_internet_Files to remove the cookie but can't locate it.

Where would I find the cookie so I can delete it and replace with a new one.

Cheers
