remove session in javascript and jquery

Question

we all know that we can set and get session using javascript like below:

session.setItem("name", "value");

session.getItem("name");

I need to know how to destroy particular and all session variable in javascript.

I used google but I'm unable to get exactly what I need. Please help me to find the solution. jQuery answers are also welcome (without plugin)

Thank you in advance

I assume this is session storage in html5, in which case you can use

sessionStorage.clear();

to remove all items in the session storage or

sessionStorage.removeItem('itemName');

to remove a specific item.

clear(void):void This public method remove everything from the sessionStorage object.

I didn't test my self but I think it should work.
