hi all,

is there any way to set Session variable from javascript in asp.

No - javascript is client side; ASP is server side.

What you could do though, is use javascript to set a hidden variable's value & post the page back to itself, setting the session variable then.

Code:

<%
  Dim MyValue
  MyValue = Request.Form("hidValue")
%>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Blah</title>
  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function postBack(myValue) {
      var theForm = document.frmBlah;
      theForm.hidValue.value = myValue;
      theForm.submit();
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <form id="frmBlah" name="frmBlah" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" id="hidValue" name="hidValue">
  </form>
</body>
</html>

Granted, but I think the context here was client side - could be wrong
