To display in Browser u have to use innerHTML property instead of value.

If U r not using master page u can do like

MIDL

document.getElementById('Label1').innerHTML=dt;

If ur using master page u can do like

C++

document.getElementById('<% =Label1.ClientID %>').innerHTML=dt;

Solution 1

Label1 is a server control so it should be

document.getElementById('<% =Label1.ClientID %>').value=dt;

EDIT
---------------------
Read Control.ClientID Property[^]

Hi Manfred, how are you? Also I couldn't see you very well in Q/A(Actually I was busy in my office so couldn't spend more time in Q/A). Yesterday I have seen Espen after long time. BTW where is Jens? He is almost inactive for 2 weeks.

Correct, a 5. (I guess the date "dt" is found by OP.)

My 5:) But a little bit modification in the tag. i.e '<% Label1.ClientID>' should be like
'<%= Label1.ClientID>'

Thanks man, BTW you can always modify the answer if you want.

Wonde Tadesse 26-May-11 22:00pm

thatraja 26-May-11 22:10pm

I think, ClientID needs when u r using master page..otherwise no need to write ClientID
