ASP.Net variable to JavaScript

I've been trying to pass an ASP.NET variable to a javascript function without any luck so far.

What I have is:

A master page that is using several .js files under folder root/js

I'm trying to create a public variable that contains the username of a person and would like to send it to a function that is inside one of the js files mentioned above.

public string username;
...
username = User.Identity.Name.ToString();

my js is:

$(document).ready(function {

var username = "<%= username %>";

var element = document.getElementById("userid");

element.innerHTML = username; });

After executing this I get <%= username %> and not the actual value.

I tried a second approach:

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.Page, this.GetType(), "customScript", "AssignValue('" + username + "');", true);

but I get function (e,t){return new x.fn.init(e,t,r)} as a result... I don't know what to do.

Any ideas will be highly appreciated!

Thank you!

// aspx
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hfUserName" />

// page_load:
hfUserName.Value = username;

// js
$(function() {
   $("#userid").text($("input[id$='hfUserName']").val());
});
