I'm trying to use a Session variable in javascript.
I have tried a number of post suggestions without success unfortinately.
I see this example all over the place.
var userName = '<%= Session["UserName"] %>'
However that is not working, at least for me. What I am trying to do is as below.
var qrdataString = "<qr-code data=" + "XL" + ' <%= Session["style"] %>' + "></qr-code>";
document.getElementById("styleqr").innerHTML = qrdataString;
Using Single quotes where they appear above just returns the string as
<%=Session["xUID"]%> in the alert that I use to show me the returned value
Using Double quotes give me either - unexpected token: string literal - or unexpected token identifier.
Thanks
After messing around for a while, and also stumbling on the following article, I have managed to get this going.

FULL RESULT
HTML
Dim xstyle: xstyle = session("style")
<div class="hr">
<input type="hidden" id="hdnSession" data-value= <%= xstyle %> />
</div>
JAVASCRIPT
var hdnString= $("#hdnSession").data('value');
var qrdataString = "<qr-code data= " + hdnString + " ></qr-code>";
document.getElementById("qrcode").innerHTML = qrdataString;
HTML
<div class="panel-body" id="qrcode">
javasctipt inserts the html here <!--qr-code data="test"></qr-code -->
</div>
