How to change the text of a label?

Question

I have a radiobutton list and on click on the radio button item I have to change the text of its label. But for some reason it\'s not working. Code is below:

Answer 1

Try this:

$('[id$=lblVessel]').text("NewText");

The id$= will match the elements that end with that text, which is how ASP.NET auto-generates IDs. You can make it safer using span[id=$=lblVessel] but usually this isn't necessary.
