It is working at my end. What is the problem? Put debugger and try to find out.
This is a very straight forward approach.

Hi,
Try like this given in the link as check the session value after setting it on the client side.

This will ensures you on the client side that weather the session is set correctly or not

As I said in my answer that Sessions set at client side will never reflect on Server Side if Page Posts back. You can set and get at client side as said in the link you have given.
But that does not serve as a Session because you can't get the value at Server side.

Check my answer. I have suggested to call one WebMethod to set the Session.

You can't set Session value directly in this way by JavaScript because Sessions are managed at Server side.

Instead of setting Session at Client Side, you can call a WebMethod and set the Session inside it.

Define one WebMethod in Code Behind like...

C#

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public static void SetUserName(string userName)
{
    Page objPage = new Page();
    objPage.Session["UserName"] = userName;
}

To call this method from aspx page, include a ScriptManager to enable Pagemethods.

<asp:ScriptManager EnablePageMethods="true" ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" ScriptMode="Release" LoadScriptsBeforeUI="true"></asp:ScriptManager>

And write the following code...
