How to set session variable in Javascript

Hi,

I wish to assign session variable from javascript. I am able to do by means of below code
'<%Session["Key"] = "' + Key + '"; %>';
at aspx page value assigned to Session["Key"] is the variable value "Key"

but when trying to access from .aspx.cs (code behind) getting session["key"] values are ' + Key + '. and looking to retrieve actual value of variable Key instead of " ' + Key + ' ", how could this be achieved.

Please suggest.

Thanks

The session variable of the server of something similar on the browser

I can not stress this enough - you can not set session variable using client side javascript. You have to pass to the server by the mean of using query string or hidden field post back.

Perhaps, you can tell us what you want to achieve then we can help you to achieve the same result without setting the session variable through client side javascript (it's just not possible).

You can not set session via client script - it's against security - if everyone can set session variable via javascript on client side - they can easily take down your server.
