Dean, Thank you very much for your reminding. My app is in a discussion mode. When my server side (aspx.cs) has some changes, my aspx page, could be another aspx page, needs to know in order to update UI without refreshing the page. Using Session is not an option. I will try using cookie. Server side can change the cookie value and then my javascripts can read the cookie value. Is this an option? Eva
Dean Fiala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: An important thing to remember is that session objects run on the SERVER, while javascripts run on the CLIENT (Browser). The javascript can only interact with objects actually on the page or objects created by other client-side scripts, they cannot directly interact with server objects such as session variables. So, no, you cannot directly access a session object from javascript. If you want to expose the values in a session object (or any server side variable) to your client-side script, you need to do so by generating/filling values into html controls or xml islands on the page. You could also dynamically produce javascript when the page loads to produce objects you can access via javascript. Of course, once you have let the user update the objects on the client, you need to access the values on the server. The most straightforward method is to simply post the form back and let the server read through the values in the html controls. You could also get very fancy and call the server from the browser using web services methods, but that's a discussion for another day.
