I see that at the server end you set txtReminderTime (you must have an ID ie: myID) = Session("AlarmTime"). Once you have set the value of a textbox you can grab it at the browser level as we discussed previously. This a cool way to have the server and browser comunicate through a textbox, which persists through postbacks.

<script language = "javascript">
  function GetSessionTime()
 {
    var testtime = document.getElementById("myID")
    return testtime
 }
</script>

<script language=' javascript'>
  myTestReminderTime=GetSessionTime()
</script>
  

Also.... If you set a public variable to Session("AlarmTime")
you can access the public variable, at the client side, via the

<%=publicVariableName/%>

syntax
