Suggest a session technology to develop a web application

Our Application is build on Mod_PL/SQL, but it has some limitations as :

[Sridevi]

Cuurnetly I am working on a Web Application that is build on HTML,CSS,PL/SQL.In the application the database connectivity is carried out via BASIC AUTHENTICATION.

BASIC AUTHENTICATION is supported by all popular web browsers but its functionality is dependent on browsers.
The User session can be killed in IE where as in Mozilla/Netscape though the Users session is destroyed, it is restoring the old session.

I am unable to use session variables for thr application in PL/SQL packages.

Can any one suggest me the other technologies through which i can overcome the limitations of my application.

welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], Sridevi!

have you investigated the use of cookies?

Thanks a lot for your reply:):)

I tried to implement cookies to avoid session variables but they are not supported in our version of Mod_PL/SQL.

Moreover Basic Authentication behaviour is not compatible in all browsers when I am trying to kill the session Build for the Corresponding window.

the only other method i can think of is a hidden form parameter with a unique session value.
