Question

Hey all i am trying to get the value from the label here in my code:

<div id="chkHaz" data-checked="no">
   <asp:Label ID="lblchkHaz" runat="server" Text="no" ClientIDMode="Static" Style="visibility: hidden; display: none;"></asp:Label>
   <asp:Image ID="check_chkHaz" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/chkOFF.png" ClientIDMode="Static" />
</div>

I set it depending on if the user has “checked” it or not via JQuery:

$("#chkHaz").click(function (input) {
   if ($(this).attr("data-checked") == "no") {
      $('#check_' + $(this).attr('id')).attr("src", "/images/chkON.png");
      $(this).attr("data-checked", "yes");
      $('#lbl' + $(this).attr('id')).attr("text", "yes");
      $('#lbl' + $(this).attr('id')).html("yes");
   } else {
      $('#check_' + $(this).attr('id')).attr("src", "/images/chkOFF.png");
      $(this).attr("data-checked", "no");
      $('#lbl' + $(this).attr('id')).attr("text", "no");
      $('#lbl' + $(this).attr('id')).html("no");
   }
});

However, when i go to check it via code behind:

Dim strChkHaz As String = lblchkHaz.text & ""

It always is “no” even though i KNOW that it changes the HTML value of “no” to “yes” and the “text” from “no” to “yes”

changes to…

1) In the .aspx file add

<asp:HiddenField runat=server ID="..." />

2) In JS find that hidden field and update it at the same time when you are changing the label.

3) Now in the code-behin read the .Value property from the hidden field instead of looking at the label text.
