Ben: I think it needs to be moved back . . . here's why:
_ I'm not using any JavaScript. This is a stand-a-lone Servelet.
_ There are no GIFs or Flash
_ The status bar indicates page fully loaded
_ A similar servelet does not ever (well, I've cycled through it for 1/2 hour) cause IE to close
_ IE always closes within 3-5 minutes, but never at the same spot in the servelet.
_ if no user interaction with the servelet occurs, IE will close in 3 - 5 minutes.
_ Both servlets spawn a new IE session, but the problem servelet causes all IE windows to close - including ones pointed to other sites and not related
_ There is a single call to close(), but I've trapped on it and it does not get called.
_ I've got debug access to both the server - a seperate box, and the client, and have found no common place where the close occurs.
_ The close will occur during stepping while debugging the servelet, at random places in the code, and with no reported errors or mishaps - the session just finished.
_
This did not occur until the December Tuesday Microsoft Patch day. Before then, no problems. Tony
