Session Variable in a Javascript Popup

I have a session variable set on my main page which works fine, I also have
a popup window called from a text link via javascript.

For some reason the session variable is not available on the popup window.

Is this normal?

Yep.

Why not call your popup window with something like this:

<script>
window.open('somepage.asp?localvar=<%=session("var")%>');
</script>

Well at least for an alert popup this should work to display a session
variable:

Response.Write "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('" &
Session("MyVar") & "');</script>"
