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.

Answer 1

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
