A <asp:Label> renders as either a <span> or a <label> element. Those elements don't have a value property. Instead, you would need to read the innerHTML property to get the text of the label.

However, the error message suggests that your label element doesn't exist in the document. You need to view the rendered source of your page, check the value you're passing to getElementById, and make sure there's an element with that ID in the document.
