    google 'jsp sessions', it will give you an idea of what sessions are and how they work!

    I don't believe so. A javascript only initialises on the client side. It has no information the server doesn't send it, through ajax or by embedding some values using PHP, JSP, ASP, PERL or whatever Server Side scripting language tickles your throath.

    Sure. 
    var myURL = window.location;
window.alert(myURL);

    JavaScript has no access to session variables.
    It has cookies, but they're hardly the same.
