How to fill a Label.Text - Property via jQuery

Question

I use ASP.NET and have a label control on my page, which I fill with the jQuery-Command

$('#<%= myLabel.ClientID %>').html(content); 

.val() does not seem to work with this.

Somehow, I have Problems getting the content in code-behind. In the code, the myLabel.Text-Property is still empty.

If you want to display the value on the client and have it available on the page, you need an input that'll get sent to the code-behind when you POST like this:

$('#<%= myLabel.ClientID %>').html(content); $('#<%= myInput.ClientID %>').val(content);  <asp:Label Id="myLabel" runat="server" /> <asp:HiddenField ID="myInput" runat="server" /> 

In the code-behind:

myInput.Value
