how to use session variables in <script> tags

[CyrusAyers]

This is pretty noob but:
I know this works:

<%session("variable1")=10%>

But this generates an error:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
session("variable1") = 10
</SCRIPT>

What about javascript, etc?
Thanks for your time,
Cyrus

sessions are assigned and created server-side so your first example works.

Your second example is for a client side script as would be javascript.

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?

Good point, but can a client side script "affect" session variables? Can it even see them? Is there a better way? Using hidden fields to communicate values is a bit tedious.
