It s simple  set a specific value for that label  XXXXXXX for example  and run it  open html source of output  in browser  and look for XXXXXXX  you will see something like this  lt span id  mylabel  gt XXXXXX lt  span gt  it s what you want  the ID of  lt span gt   I think it s usually same as Label name in asp code  now you can get its value by innerHTML or another method in JQuery

for the line you wrote     var g       lt   Label1 ClientID     val        Also I tried  text   and  html     you missed adding    it should be like this     var g        lt   Label1 ClientID     text        also I do not prefer using this method  that s because if you are calling a control in master or nested master page or if you are calling a control in page from master  Also controls in Repeater  regardless the MVC  this will cause problems   you should ALWAYS call the ID of the control directly  like this         ControlID       this is simple and clear  but do not forget to set      ClientIDMode  Static     in your controls to remain with same ID name after render  that s because ASP net will modify the ID name in HTML rendered file in some contexts  i e  the page is for Master page the control name will be ConetentPlaceholderName controlID   I hope it clears the question Good Luck

Try using the html   function        lt   Label1 ClientID  gt    html     You re also missing the   to make it an ID you re searching for  Without the    it s looking for a tag type

try document getElementById   lt   Label1 ClientID     text or innerHTML OTHERWISE LOAD JQUERY SCRIPT AND put your code as it is

No solution here worked for me  Instead I added a class to the label and was able to select it that way    lt asp Label ID  Label1  CssClass  myLabel1Class  runat  server  Text  Label  gt  lt  asp Label gt       myLabel1Class   val    And  as mentioned by others  make sure you have your jquery loaded
