Accessing Session variable from javascript

[M007]

Hi,

I'm making my first ASP.NET web application. I read in several forums that it is possible to access a Session variable from javascript by using the following syntax:

var a = '<%=Session("Village")%>';

However, variable 'a' gets the value "<%=Session("Village")%>" instead of the value of Session variable 'Village'.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Make sure that your javaScript code is on a page that is is being processed by .net. It has to end with .aspx.

its correct.
<script>
var MyClientSideVar = <%= Session("MySessionVar")%>;
alert(MyClientSideVar);
</script>
