How to change the text of a label?
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.
