Get C# session variable using javascript

[Joe]

I am new to web development at all but maintaining a .NET
site that utilizes .apsx pages using vbscript,
javascript,and C#.

There is a function I am doing that I only can find out
how to do in javascript (direct url post to variable then
close window), however now I need to access a session
variable from that javascript. I could do it from a C#
page doing the following:

(string)HttpContext.Current.Session["myLearningUrl"];

Anyone know how I can do it in javascript?

thanks

The session variables belong to the web server, and are held in the session
collection on the server, your javascript runs within the client, as part of
the page request output. The easiest way to access it from javascript would
be to put it in a hidden field in your page output and access it as a simple
html field in your client side javascript.
