Howdy All,

I'm having an odd issue with Profiles on IE8 only and so far cannot find any info on the topic. 

This issue is only occuring in my Live env as well and not in my dev env.  You can see the issue here;

http://www.tripatourium.com/

1. If you click on either of the prints on the right hand side then, click on add to cart under the large picture.
2. You will see the cart price (on the upper right) now reflects the change.
3. Then if you click on the other print (not the same, I have to fix that pathing) you will see the cart value is now empty again.

This does not occur in Moz or Chrome or in IE8 when testing locally.

Any info would be great.

Thanks,

Alex

Ok, not sure why now but, the issue has seemed to have resolved itself.   I know it was really occuring because I reproduced it several time.  If I figure out why it occured I'll post the solution. 

If you ever run into this problem again, turn on Compatibility View by clicking on the icon to the right of the address bar that looks like a torn piece of paper. It rolls back IE 8 to render pages like IE 7 would have.

ahh, I see how my posting title is a bit misleading for I had tried that before with no luck.  I should have noted that in my inital post. 

Another odd aspect of the behavior was that clicking the add to cart button again did not fire either the JS event or the default/fallback hyperlink  behavior. 

This issue has occured on 2 other occasions for me and I feel that it may occur again when I upload my new codeset today.  If it does occur I'll take timestamped notes to see how long it takes to resolve.  When it last occured I even restarted the website with no change but, I still feel this is somehow cache related.  Maybe IE is holding on to the cache data for the old codeset longer than the other browsers.

Thanks for the input though.

OK this issue is occuring again, I think it's cause I just updated the codebase again.  Last time it just too some time for the issue to resolve itself but, I'd like to know what the cause of it is, incase it is an indicator of a larger issue at hand.

Here are my profile components;

<profile enabled="true" automaticSaveEnabled="true">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/Tripatourium" />
      </providers>
      <properties>
        <add name="IsDomestic" type="System.Boolean" allowAnonymous="false" defaultValue="true" />
        <add name="OrderReady" type="System.Boolean" allowAnonymous="false" defaultValue="false" />
        <add name="OpenOrders" type="System.Boolean" allowAnonymous="false" defaultValue="false" />
        <add name="ShoppingCart" type="Tripatourium.MVC.ShoppingCart" allowAnonymous="true" />
      </properties>
    </profile>

If you need to know more about the Shoppingcart I can provide it but, I do not think that is the cause since it will work on Moz and Chrome and, hopefully will soon sync-up what ever is lagging and will work again on IE, without changing the code.

I Have flushed the cache on my browser and it did not help.  Is there any aspect of Membership profiles that could be getting stuck in the cache in IE only?  I can see that IsDomestic and OrderReady is being set and retreived as expected in all browsers.   It is just the Shoppingcart value is being reset on each pagechange in IE only, as seen by the Cart value being reset to empty on each page change.  I updated the codebase at 11:30 am today, once it resolves itself I'll post how long it took. 

Other info; There are no error message being generated in the system or Application logs and all of the other profile data is acting as expected. 

Any info or push in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
