session variables unavailable in javascript?

[Joe Befumo]

I'm unable to access my session variables in a javascript function. Here
are the details:

In global.asa, I have the following:

Sub Session_OnStart
Session("TestMessage") = "Test One Two hree."
End Sub

I can set a break on the session("Test Message") line and confirm that it's
firing.

In my asp page, I have the following:

<script language="javascript">

function checkFields(theForm)
{
alert("TestMessage");
return false;
}

</script>

This is called by:

<FORM action="subscribe.asp" method=post id=form1 name=form1
onSubmit="return checkFields(this)">

First of all, I can't set any breaks on the javascript routine.

That aside, when configured as above, it works as expected, that is, I get
an alert message saying "TestMessage", so I know that the function is being
called. Since the function returns a value of false, subscribe.asp is not
loaded.

However, if I change that alert as follows:

alert(Session("TestMessage"));

The javascript function is apparently never called - I do not get the alert
message, and subscribe.asp is loaded.

Any ideas?

Yeah -- I realized shortly after I posted this that I was mixing client- and
server-side -- been in management too long.
