Solution 1

You can not assign value to session variable from java script.
The reason is very clear session is store on server .So to assign session value you need post back .

However you can assign value of session variable to java script variable.

You have to use server-side programming (vb.net or C# or ...). Maybe is better you use a button in asp.net .

how to set session values using javascript.
Well, as others have already stated that Session is a server side thing and Javascript is a client side thing.

Though, if you want to set a session via Javascript, you can do it using XMLHttpRequest.
Read about it here:XMLHttpRequest[^]
