Setting an element text outside server-tag

Is it possible to put Text in a element outside the <form runat="server"> tag?

I'm trying to at least output my Session values like the user's name in a <a> element.

In my login.aspx.cs i start the session 

Session["username"] = firstname.Text;

and then try to output it on other pages navigation that is outside the <form> tag

<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-brand-centered">
   <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
      <li><a href="home.aspx">Home</a></li>
   </ul>
   <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
      <li><a href="account.aspx" id = "account"><!--The place where i will output--></a></li>
      <li><a href="functions/logout.aspx">Logout</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

i tried to call the id of the <a> it doesn't appear in suggestion and i started to think that its outside the server tag. Thank you for understanding and for helping.

Use it like <%# Session["username"].ToString() %>, you need not set from code behind, you will directly access to it.

<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-brand-centered">
   <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
      <li><a href="home.aspx">Home</a></li>
   </ul>
   <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
      <li><a href="account.aspx" id = "account"><%# Session["username"].ToString() %></a></li>
      <li><a href="functions/logout.aspx">Logout</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
