How to change the text of a label?

Question

I was having the same problem because i was using

$("#LabelID").val("some value");

I learned that you can either use the provisional jquery method to clear it first then append:

$("#LabelID").empty();
$("#LabelID").append("some Text");

Or conventionaly, you could use:

$("#LabelID").text("some value");

OR

$("#LabelID").html("some value");

ASP.Net automatically generates unique client IDs for server-side controls.

Change it to

 $('#<%= lblVessel.ClientID %>')

In ASP.Net 4.0, you could also set the ClientIDMode property to Static instead.

Try this:

$('[id$=lblVessel]').text("NewText");

The id$= will match the elements that end with that text, which is how ASP.NET auto-generates IDs. You can make it safer using span[id=$=lblVessel] but usually this isn't necessary.

try this

$("label").html(your value); or $("label").text(your value);

I just went through this myself and found the solution. See an ASP.NET label server control actually gets redered as a span (not an input), so using the .val() property to get/set will not work. Instead you must use the 'text' property on the span in conjuntion with using the controls .ClientID property. The following code will work:

$("#<%=lblVessel.ClientID %>").text('NewText');

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rbtnType" runat="server">
    <asp:ListItem Value="C">Co</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="I">In</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="O">Out</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblLabelName" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#<%=rbtnType.ClientID%>").change(function() {
            var rbvalue = $("input[@name=<%=rbtnType.ClientID%>]:radio:checked").val();
            if (rbvalue == "C") {
                $('#<%=lblLabelName.ClientID %>').html('text1');
            } else if (rbvalue == "I") {
                $('#<%=lblLabelName.ClientID %>').html('else text2');
            } else if (rbvalue == "O") {
                $('#<%=lblLabelName.ClientID %>').html('or elsethistext');
            }
        });
    });
</script>

we have to find label tag for attribute value based on that.we have replace label text.

Script:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() 
{ 
$("label[for*='test']").html("others");
});

</script>

Html

<label for="test_992918d5-a2f4-4962-b644-bd7294cbf2e6_FillInButton">others</label>
