It really depends where your control is situated in your page. FindControl method will not simply find a control anywhere. i.e. It the control may not be found if the control is nested within another control, one needs to step down through the control structure.

However if the resulting element is named ‘ct100_hfchildpage’ then this bastardized javascript may do what you are looking for.

var hfchildpageElement = $get('<%=((Hiddenfield)this.Master.FindControl("ct100_hfchildpage")).ClientID %>');

if(hfchildpageElement) hfchildpageElement.value = 'whatEverYouWant';

That said, I think you should review your code and method of using sessions. Sessions are available server side, they are held server side, and hence not only is it very unusual to be storing and using them via JavaScript on the client side, it is bad practice and may be extremely insecure.
