How to call a session variable in JQuery

How to call a session variable in JQuery

Hello Group,
 
I am trying to reference a session variable inside some JQuery code.  These examples below are what I am using currently just to try and see if I can get something to display and nothing shows up.  See anything wrong?
 
alert(
Session( "OwnerIndicator" ).val);
alert(
Session("OwnerIndicator"));
 
Just to make sure an alert works, I threw in a alert( "hi" ); which works fine.  It is when I try to write out the session variable it fails.
 
Thanks in advance folks...
