[Chameleon] Session issue

[Delfos, Jacob]

You passed the session ID into the Iframe from the template. So the 1st
page in the Iframe has access to the session ID, but does not pass it to
the next page. When your Iframe submits (I assume it does), it does NOT
pass the session ID to the page it submits to.
