Solution 1

The best way is to have both controls and at start hide the textbox.
Then switch visibility (label invisible, textbox visible and value copied from label)

other approach is to postback, but you want to do it client side...

Thank you.Yeah...i applied visible and invisible way to the label before posting here.It works fine.I need to know that how to hide the text box when the page loads.Please suggest code in java script.

i would do it at serverside with textbox.Attributes.Add("visible","false");

on clientside it can be done too, but its more difficult. The best approach is with jQuery at the $(document).ready{} method
