I need help passing a session variable from my main page to a popup window. How would I go about doing this?

Here's how my popup window is like:

Onclick="windowOpen('http://intranet/Quotes/CreateNew.aspx', 'CreateNew');"

Here's the variable that I want to pass:

Session("AuthUser") = strUser

My idea is that when the user click on the create new quote button, it will carry the user's username (from login page) to the popup window so that we can have a record of who created the quote.

I was able to get it to work if it's within the same IE window, but when use with the pop, seems like it's a new session so it doesn't get carry on. I need a way to pass it so that it will carry to the new window. I'm thinking somewhere with my URL but I'm not quite sure.

Please advise.

you can pass it through the querystring.

Thanks both for responding

, but I can't seem to pass it to the pop up window. Here's what I did with each suggestions.

Spirit1:

Onclick="windowOpen('http://intranet/Quotes/CreateNew.aspx?user='<%#strUsers%>', 'CreateNew');

For behind code I have it as for page that is grabbing the variable.

strUsers = Request.QueryString("user")

I'm getting blanks. It seems like it's not seeing the variable or something is missing in my code.

Jon:

Onclick="windowOpen('http://intranet/Quotes/CreateNew.aspx' & Session("AuthUser") & "'", 'CreateNew');"

This does not work either. It gives me an error at startup.

Please advise.

Just a little correction with one of the example I provided.

Onclick="windowOpen('http://intranet/Quotes/CreateNew.aspx?user='<%#strUsers%>', 'CreateNew');

On same page I put this:

strUsers = Session("AuthUsers")

For behind code I have it as for page that is grabbing the variable.

txbQuoteID.Text = Request.QueryString("user")
