Get text of label with jquery
I want to do very simple thing, but I'm not success. I have button and label on my asp.net page and I want to get text of label after clicking on button. Here is my code:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm2.aspx.cs" Inherits="DynamicWebApplication.WebForm2" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function f()
{
var g = $('<%=Label1.ClientID%>').val(); // Also I tried .text() and .html()
alert(g);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<p></p>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="f();"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
Answer
try this:
var g = $('#<%=Label1.ClientID%>').val();
or this:
var g = $('#<%=Label1.ClientID%>').html();
you are missing the #
add this in the head section:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
