I am trying to set session value in javascript :

//session value 5400
//remainingSeconds value 5399
@Session["remain-seconds"] = remainingSeconds;

But i am getting the following error:

invalid left-hand side in assignment

Is it possible to set session variable inside javascript?

No, session variables are server side. You'd have to have a little ajax call to talk to the server to set it. There are plenty of examples of this via google searches. You can see one example here.

For a one-time evaluation (on the server, before it hits the client), you can set it (sort of) in the code section of your script, but I think that's different from what you're asking to do. See this thread.
