>What is a sessionid? This sounds like something unique to IE or IIS [most
likely]? From what is a 'sessionid' created?
Yes, it is an IIS thing.  It is a randomly generated number that is
assigned to each visitor session.  I use this number to track the shopping
cart.

>Could it be that your asp is setting a hidden variable internally?? 
I suppose that is possible.  I do not know all the technical details of how
it is done, only that it works and I like it.
