    Ok so I thought I was finished my site.. I checked my page out in IE7 and I get the following message when I click the PayPal image/button.

    Session contains invalid data.

    I have 2 pages. Calc.html and success.html
    The value from a textfield in Calc is written to a cookie and then retrieved from the success page and passed to the PayPal form.
    Note the value of the textfield is a number in the format xx.xx

    Some code from Calc: (this works fine) 
    function createCookie(name,value,days) {
		if (days) {
			var date = new Date();
			date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
			var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
		}
		else var expires = "";
		document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
	}
	
	function readCookie(name) {
		var nameEQ = name + "=";
		var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
		for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
			var c = ca[i];
			while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
			if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
		}
		return null;
	}
	
	function eraseCookie(name) {
		createCookie(name,"",-1);
	}

createCookie('ppCookie',bookingDep2,1);


    Som code from success: 
    function setPPamount(){
		var x = readCookie('ppCookie');
		alert("Booking Deposit = &#8364;"+x);
		document.ppForm2.amount.value = x;
		eraseCookie('ppCookie');
		
}
...
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" name="ppForm2" id="ppForm2">
  <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
          <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="webassist.dreamweaver.4_0_3" />
          <input type="hidden" name="business" value="........" />
          <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="EUR" />
          <input type="hidden" name="undefined_quantity" value="0" />
          <input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="........" />
          <input type="hidden" name="mrb" value="....." />
          <input type="hidden" name="pal" value="......" />
          <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0" />
          <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0" />
          <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="......" />
          <input type="hidden" name="amount" value= "" />
          <input type="image" name="ppButton" id="ppButton" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but6.gif" border="0" alt="Make payments with PayPal, it's fast, free, and secure!" style="display:visible" onClick="setPPamount()"/>
</form>

    It's strange that this works no problem in Firefox but yet IE7 I get that invalid session data error.

    Any help would be really appreciated before I remove anymore clumps of hair.

    Thanks
